Ingredients

1 1/2 c. sugar
1/3 c. cornstarch

1 1/2 tsp. grated lemon rind (1 large lemon)
1/2 tsp. vanilla

Mix together 1 1/2 cups sugar, cornstarch and water; cook until thick.
Beat the egg yolks; add slowly to the thickened, cooked ingredients.
Cook for 1 minute.
Add the butter, lemon juice and grated rind.
Pour into a baked pie crust.
Beat the egg whites.
Add vanilla and cream of tartar; beat until soft peaks form.
Add 6 tablespoons sugar; beat until stiff peaks form.
Put on filling, being careful to seal the meringue onto the edge of crust to prevent shrinking and weeping.
