Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Add
1/2 a cup of cornstarch
1 1/2 cups of sugar
2 cups of water
5 egg yolks beaten (save the whites for the meringue)
Stir in a bowl and then bring to a boil for 8 to 10 minutes making sure that you continuously stir the mixture.
Then add a 1/2 cup of sugar
1/2 lemon juice from lemons
1 teaspoon of lemon peel
2 tablespoons of butter or margarine
Then combine with your filling and keep stirring until smooth and thick.
Remove from heat and pour the filling into a baked pastry shell.
Meringue:
In another bowl whip egg whites until foamy. Add a 1/4 cup of sugar, 1/3 cup of water, the egg whites, 2tsp of corn starch and a teaspoon of vanilla extract. Whisk until meringue thickens and spread over pie, sealing the edges at the crust. Add your peak using a fork.
Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until meringue is golden brown.
Remove, let cool and enjoy.
