| Directions | To make meringue, beat egg whites with cream of tartar until frothy. Gradually beat in 1/2 cup sugar, a little at a time. Continue beating until stiff and glossy. Set aside while cooking the rest. Cook egg yolks, remaining 1/2 cup sugar, water , lime juice and lemon rind over low heat, stirring constantly, until boiling. Remove from heat. Immediately fold gently into meringue. Pile into baked pie shell. Chill. Serve cold. Variation: If preferred, bake at 400° until delicately browned (about 5 minutes). Serve immediately. |
