On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to a 1/8" thick

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.
