Lemon Meringue Pie fit for a King

In the past when I've gone to visit my dad, he's greeted me at the door with a pie pan and a lemon. This recipe is why.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/3 cup cornstarch
• 1 1/2 cup water
• 3 egg yolks (reserve whites for meringue)
• 3 tbsp butter
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• Rind of one lemon

Meringue:

• 3 egg whites
• 1/3 cup sugar

In heavy saucepan, blend sugar and cornstarch. Gradually add water. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly. Bring to boil, and boil for one minute. Stir 1/2 mixture into beaten egg yolks; stir back into rest of the mixture. Boil one minute longer. Remove from heat and add lemon juice, rind and butter; stir well. Pour into baked pie crust and top with meringue; brown under broiler taking care to not set it on fire because man oh man it will do so the minute you look away.
