Use the egg whites left over from separating eggs for the lemon filling to make the meringue. Letting the egg whites stand at room temperature is okay for up to 30 minutes. They’ll beat up well after being out of the refrigerator for a short time.
Pastry for One-Crust Pie (page 117), Buttermilk Pastry (page 121) or Pat-in-the-Pan Oil Pastry
Meringue for 9-Inch Pie (see recipe)
_ large eggs yolks (reserve-egg whites for meringue)
_ 1/2 cups sugar
___ cup plus 1-tbsp cornstarch
_ 1/2 cups water
_ tablespoons butter or stick margarine
_ teaspoons grated lemon peel
___ cup lemon juice
_ drops yellow food coloring, if desired
1. Bake pastry for baked One-Crust Pie.
2. Heat oven to 350°. Complete step 2 of Meringue for 9-Inch Pie.
3. While sugar mixture for meringue is cooling, beat egg yolks with fork in small bowl; set aside. Mix sugar and cornstarch in 2-quart saucepan. Gradually stir in water. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and boils. Boil and stir 1 minute.
4. Immediately stir at least half of the hot mixture into egg yolks, then stir back into hot mixture in saucepan. Boil and stir 1 minute; remove from heat. Stir in butter, lemon peel, lemon juice and food color. Press plastic wrap on filling to prevent a tough layer from forming on top.
