INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 baked 9-inch pastry shell
  • 1 1/3 cups granulated sugar, divided

PREPARATION:

In a saucepan combine 1 cup sugar with cornstarch. Gradually stir in the cold water until smooth. Stir in the beaten egg yolks. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly, and continue to boil and stir for 1 minute. Remove from heat. Stir in the lemon peel, lemon juice, and butter. Cool. Turn into the prepared pie shell. Beat egg whites until foamy. Gradually beat in 1/3 cup sugar; continue beating until stiff peaks form.
