Impossible Lemon Pie - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 lemons, juice and rind of, grated
    3 eggs, separated
    2 tablespoons hot water
    1/2 cup granulated sugar (divided)
    2 tablespoons butter
    1 baked 9-inch pie shell
Preparation
    In a heavy saucepan, combine lemon juice and rind, egg yolks, hot water, 1/4 cup sugar and butter.
    Heat slowly, stirring constantly, until thick enough to coat a spoon.
    Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
    In a large bowl, beat egg whites until STIFF, slowly adding remaining 1/4 cup sugar.
    Fold in egg yolk mixture and pour into baked pie shell.
    Place pie briefly under broiler to give a golden top.
    Watch it constantly because it will brown quickly.
    Cool and refrigerate for about 2 hours before serving. Keep in the refrigerator.
    Serves 6 to 8.
    NOTE: To extract more juice from lemons, limes and oranges, place them in the microwave on high for 30-45 seconds per piece of fruit, or roll them on the kitchen counter with the palms of your hands.
    I used extra large lemons for this pie.
