How to make lemon meringue pie:

Combine first three ingredients in a large heavy saucepan and mix well. Gradually add water and lemon juice, stirring until mixture is smooth.

Beat egg yolks until thick and lemon color. Gradually stir into lemon mixture. Add butter and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened and bubbly. Cook 1 minute. Keep stirring. Remove from heat and pour into pie shell.

Beat egg whites (at room temperature) and cream of tartar at high speed with an electric mixer just until foamy. Gradually add sugar, beating until stiff peaks form and sugar dissolves. Beat in vanilla and spread meringue over pie filling, sealing to edge. Bake at 350° for 12 to 15 minutes until golden brown. Cool and enjoy.
