      Title: Preacher's Sour Cream Lemon Meringue Pies
 Categories: Pies, Pastry, Citrus, Dairy
      Yield: 12 Servings
 
      2    Baked pie shells (9"); cooled

MMMMM--------------------------FILLING-------------------------------
      2 c  Sugar
    1/4 c  Corn starch; +2 tb
    1/4 lb Butter; softened
      2 tb Fresh grated lemon zest
    1/4 c  Fresh squeezed lemon juice;
           - +2 tb
      6 lg Egg yolks; beaten
      2 c  Milk
     16 oz Sour cream
  
  MMMMM-------------------------MERINGUE-------------------------------
      6 lg Egg whites; room temperature
      1 pn Salt
    1/4 ts Cream of tartar
  
  Place sugar and lemon peel into a processor and process until lemon
  peel is finely minced. Place sugar mixture in a heavy-bottomed
  saucepan. Add corn starch, butter and beaten egg yolks. Slowly stir
  in milk using a whisk over low heat, and stir constantly until
  thickened. This takes about 5-7 minutes. Do not scorch!
  
  Cool completely in the refrigerator at least 3 hours. When
  completely chilled, whisk in the sour cream and return to
  refrigerator while preparing the meringue!
  
  In a mixing bowl, combine the egg whites, salt, and cream of
  tartar. Beat well with electric mixer and slowly add in 1/2 cup
  granulated sugar. Beat until stiff, but not dry... just until
  meringue holds a stiff peak when beater is lifted.
  
  Set oven @ 425°F/220°C.
  
  Divide the lemon filling between the cooled, baked crusts. Now top
  each pie with half of the meringue, making sure to seal the
  meringue all away around the edge of the pie touching the crust and
  mound high in the middle... use the back of a spoon to make little
  decorative swirls and peaks.
  
  Place pies in heated oven for about 6-10 minutes just long enough
  to set the meringue and slightly brown the top. Allow the pie to
  cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
  
  Chill any leftovers.
