Grandma’s Lemon Meringue Pie

Directions:

Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Crafting the Luscious Lemon Filling: In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1 cup of granulated sugar, flour, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt. Introduce water, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and the vibrant zest of lemons into the mixture. Over medium-high heat, stir diligently until the concoction reaches a gentle boil. Incorporate the velvety butter. In a small bowl, place your egg yolks and gradually whisk in 1/2 cup of the steaming sugar mixture. Now, reunite the egg yolk blend with the remainder of the sugar mixture, returning it to a simmer while maintaining a vigilant stir. Watch with glee as it thickens to perfection. Remove from heat and lovingly pour the sunshine-filled filling into the pre-baked pastry shell.
Crafting the Cloud-Like Meringue: In a generously sized glass or metal bowl, whip the egg whites until they froth with excitement. Gradually introduce the remaining 6 tablespoons of granulated sugar while continuing to whip until you achieve those coveted stiff peaks. Gently spread this ethereal meringue over the pie, ensuring it lovingly seals the edges at the crust.
Allow your masterpiece to dance in the preheated oven for approximately 10 minutes, or until the meringue’s peaks turn a mesmerizing golden brown.
