Ingredients

1 (9-inch) packaged pie crust, pre-baked if frozen

Filling

4 large egg yolks

3 large eggs

1 cup granulated sugar

3/4 cup fresh lemon juice

2 tbsp cornstarch

1/2 cup (1 stick) chilled butter, cut into small pieces

Meringue

4 large egg whites

1/4 tsp cornstarch

1/4 tsp cream of tartar

1/2 cup superfine sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

Directions

Preheat oven to 350. To prepare filling, in top of a double broiler, whisk together egg yolks, eggs, sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Place over simmering water. Cook over medium heat, stir constantly, until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Do not let the mixture boil. Remove mixture from over water. Stir in butter. Pour into crust.

To prepare meringue, beat egg whites at medium speed until foamy. Beat in cornstarch and cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in sugar and vanilla at high speed until stiff, but not dry, peaks form.

Spoon meringue into a large pastry bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe meringue decoratively over filling to edge of crust. Bake pie until meringue in golden, 12 to 15 minutes.
