1 (9") pie shell, baked or graham cracker crust pie shell
1 1/3 c. sugar
5 tbsp. cornstarch
1 1/2 c. milk
3 eggs, separated
1/2 c. lemon juice
1/4 tsp. cream of tartar
5 tbsp. sugar

Mix sugar, cornstarch, milk and cook until thick over medium high heat. Be sure to stir often so it doesn't stick. Pour half of mixture into egg yolks and mix thoroughly, then pour back into pot and cook 1 more minute. Stir in lemon juice thoroughly and pour into pie shell. Beat egg whites and 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar in a mixing bowl until soft peaks are formed. Add sugar gradually beating until stiff. Top pie with meringue and brown in oven at 400 degrees.
