THIS IS HOW TO MAKE IT FROM SCRATCH:
Step 1:
I began the preparation by heating my oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Step 2:
Next, I whisked the sugar, with the flour, cornstarch, and salt in a medium saucepan. And I added in the lemon zest with the squeezed juice, and water.
Step 3:
Then, I cooked, stirring occasionally, over medium-high heat until the mixture has reached a boil.
Step 4:
After that, I added the butter to the blend, and In a small bowl, I whisked together egg yolks and 1/2 cup hot sugar until smooth, and I returned to the rest of the sugar mixture with the egg yolks.
Step 5:
At this point, I brought to a boil, then simmer, stirring continuously, until the sauce has thickened. Taking the heat down, I added the filling over the baked crust.
Step 6:
And to make the meringue, I whisked the egg whites until frothy in a big glass or metal dish.
Step 7:
And I added in the sugar in a slow, steady stream before stiff peaks form, and once done, I spread the meringue on the pie and the crust sides are sealed.
Step 8:
And to finish, I placed the pie in the oven that has been preheated and baked it for ten minutes.
