      1 c  Sugar
    1/4 c  Cornstarch
      3 tb A-P flour
    1/4 ts Salt

MMMMM--------------------------MERINGUE-------------------------------
      3 lg Egg whites; room temp
    1/4 ts Salt
    1/2 c  Sugar
 
  On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to a 1/8" thick
  circle; transfer to a 9" pie plate. Trim to 1/2 in.
  beyond rim of plate; flute edge. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
  
  Set oven @ 425ºF/218ºC.
  
  Line crust with a double thickness of foil. Fill with
  pie weights, dried beans or uncooked rice. Bake on a
  lower oven rack until edge is golden brown, 20-25
  minutes. Remove foil and weights; bake until bottom is
  golden brown, 3-6 minutes longer. Cool on a wire rack.
  Reduce oven setting to 350°.
  
  In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, cornstarch, flour
  and salt. Gradually stir in water. Cook and stir over
  medium heat until thickened and bubbly. Reduce heat;
  cook and stir 2 minutes more. Remove from the heat.
  
  Gradually stir 1 cup hot mixture into egg yolks; return
  all to saucepan. Bring to a boil. Cook and stir for 2
  minutes. Remove from the heat. Stir in the butter, lemon
  juice and zest until smooth. Pour into pie crust.
  
  In a bowl, beat egg whites and salt until stiff (but not
  dry) peaks form. Gradually beat in sugar until soft
  peaks form. Spread over pie, sealing edge to crust. Bake
  @ 350ºF/175ºC until meringue is golden, 12-15 minutes.
  Cool. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator.
