Deliciously Tangy Homemade Lemon Meringue Pie

First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1 cup of sugar, flour, cornstarch, and salt. Stir in water, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture comes to a boil. Continue to cook and stir until the mixture thickens.

Next, remove the pan from the heat. Stir in butter. Place egg yolks in a small bowl and gradually whisk in 1/2 cup of hot sugar mixture. Whisk egg yolk mixture back into the pan. Return to heat and bring to a boil. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens. Pour the filling into the baked pie crust.

To make the meringue, in a large glass or metal bowl, whip egg whites until foamy. Add sugar gradually, and continue to whip until stiff peaks form. Spread the meringue over the pie, making sure to seal the edges at the crust.

Finally, place the pie in the preheated oven. Bake for 10 minutes, or until the meringue is golden brown. Let the pie cool completely before serving. Then, enjoy the delightful combination of a buttery crust, tangy lemon filling, and fluffy meringue topping that this homemade lemon meringue pie has to offer!
