• 3 teaspoons grated lemon peel
  
• 6 tablespoons lemon juice
  
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar, divided use
  
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch

• 2 1/4 cups boiling water
  
• 3 large eggs

Instructions



1. In a double boiler, bring to a boil, grated lemon peel and lemon juice. Remove from the heat; do not strain.
   
   
2. Combine 1/2 cup sugar, flour, cornstarch, and salt. Slowly add boiling water, stirring constantly. Cook until smooth, forming a mound when dropped from a spoon. Cover and cook for 15 minutes. Beat egg yolks with remaining sugar. Stir into the hot filling and return to the double boiler. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the lemon juice and lemon peel mixture; stirring well. Remove from the heat.
   
   
3. When cool, spoon into a 9-inch unbaked pie shell. Top with a meringue from 3 stiffly beaten egg whites. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes at 375 degrees, or until browned.
