Lemon Pie

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat oven to 400°F.
2. 2
   Roll out pie dough and place in a pie dish. Poke the crust with a fork, line with aluminum foil and pie weights. Bake at 400°F for 12 minutes, remove pie weights and foil, and continue baking for 8 more minutes or until golden brown. Take out and set aside to cool.
3. 3
   Reduce oven heat to 350°F.
4. 4
   Pour the condensed milk in a mixing bowl and add the lemon juice. Mix well. Add the egg and mix together. Pour into the pie crust.
5. 5
   Next, prepare the meringue. Take the egg whites and cream of tartar and beat on high until frothy. Slowly add in the sugar. Beat until stiff peaks form.
6. 6
   Scoop the meringue out onto the pie and smooth it out over the pie. This is such a thin layer of meringue, that I didn't even try to form peaks; I didn't want to get too far down into the filling.
7. 7
   Bake at 350°F for 20 minutes or until meringue is browned.
