  1 1/4 c  Sugar
    1/2 c  All-purpose flour

  1 1/2 c  Water
      3 lg Eggs; separated

MMMMM--------------------------MERINGUE-------------------------------
      3    Egg whites; room temp
      6 tb Sugar
    1/2 ts Vanilla extract
    1/4 ts Cream of tartar
 
  This is the pie for all the true lovers of Lemon Meringue
  Pie.
  
  Beat the egg whites at high speed with an electric mixer
  until soft peaks form. With mixer running, add the cream of
  tartar, then gradually add the sugar, a tablespoon at a
  time, and beat until stiff peaks form. Beat in the vanilla.
  
  Preheat oven to 350 F.
  
  Combine the sugar, flour, salt and water in a heavy
  saucepan. Stir constantly over medium-high heat until
  mixture boils. Boil, stirring constantly and vigorously, for
  1 minute. (A long-handled spoon to stir with really helps
  here to get you back from the heat.) Remove from heat.
  
  Slightly beat the egg yolks in a bowl with a fork. Mix about
  one-third of the boiled mixture with the egg yolks; then
  pour the egg yolk mixture back into the pan with the boiled
  ingredients, and cook for 1 more minute, stirring constantly
  and, again, vigorously. Remove from heat, and add the
  butter.
  
  Add the lemon zest and lemon juice. Stir to mix thoroughly.
  
  Pour into cooled, baked 9-inch pie crust and top with
  meringue. Bake in a 350 F oven 12 to 15 minutes or until
  nicely browned.
  
  Note: Be sure to seal the meringue to the pastry edge when
  spreading it on your pie. To minimize "weeping", spread the
  meringue on the pie filling while the filling is hot. Also,
  remember that meringue pies cut better with a wet knife
  blade.
