Lemon Pie - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 1/2 cups sugar
    4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    4 tablespoons cornstarch
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    2 cups boiling water
    4 egg yolks, beaten
    1/3 cup fresh lemon juice (use freshly squeezed - you'll be using the rind, too)
    2 whole lemons, rind of, grated (rind only of 2 lemons)
    1 baked 9-inch baked pie crust
Preparation
    In a bowl, mix the sugar, flour, cornstarch, and salt together.
    In a saucepan over high heat, boil 2 cups water; add the sugar mixture and cook, stirring constantly, until mixture just begins to thicken.
    Reduce heat to low and cook until thickened; whisk in the beaten egg yolks and cook 2 minutes longer on low heat.
    Remove from heat, stir in the lemon juice and rind and combine well; let cool for 5 minutes, then pour into previously-baked pie shell. If you like, you can cover with meringue (use \"Weepless Meringue #20159\" recipe).
