Lemon Pie - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    9-inch pie shell
    1 1/2 cup sugar
    1 1/2 cup water
    1/2 tsp. salt
    1/2 cup cornstarch
    1/3 cup water
    4 egg yolks, slightly beaten
    1/2 cup lemon juice
    3 Tbsp. butter
    1 tsp. grated lemon peel
    4 egg whites
    1/4 tsp. salt
    1/2 cup sugar
Preparation
    These recipes call for starting with a baked 9-inch pie shell. Again I prefer Albertsons ready-made crust.
    Remove one crust from the package and let warm up to room temperature, about one hour should do it.
    Remove a single crust and unfold.
    Prepare pie dish by spraying with Pam all natural spray.
    Wiping off excess spray with a paper towel.
    Unfold the pie crust--repair any tares by following the makers instructions.
    On the side of the crust that will face down on the pie dish put a heaping teaspoon of flour. Spread the flour evenly from the center of the crust to the very edges of the crust.
    Brush off excess flour; place floured side down in pie dish.
    Carefully fit crust into pie dish.
    Cut off excess crust, crimp edges of crust onto lip of pie dish using a table fork.
    Also you can use pie rings on edge for excellent results.
    Baste crust lightly with milk and bake to makers instructions.
    This should give you a beautiful golden brown crust. Let crust cool completely.
