Steps:
- For the pastry, put the plain flour, butter, icing sugar, egg yolk (save the white for the meringue) and 1 tbsp cold water into a food processor. Pulse until the mix starts to bind - make sure the mix is not overworked.
- Tip the pastry onto a lightly floured surface, gather together until smooth, then roll out and line a 23 x 2.5cm loose-bottom fluted flan tin. Trim and neaten the edges. Press pastry into the flutes. The pastry is quite rich, so don't worry if it cracks, just press it back together. Prick the base with a fork, line with foil, shiny side down, and chill for 30 mins-1 hr (or overnight).
- Put a baking sheet in the oven and heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Bake the pastry case 'blind' (filled with dry beans) for 15 mins, then remove the foil and bake a further 5-8 mins until the pastry is pale golden and cooked. Set aside. Can be done a day ahead. Lower the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4.
- While the pastry bakes, prepare the filling. Mix the cornflour, golden caster sugar and lemon zest in a medium saucepan. Strain and stir in the lemon juice gradually. Make the orange juice up to 200ml with water and strain into the pan. Cook over a medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened and smooth.
- Once the mixture bubbles, remove from the heat and beat in the butter until melted. Beat the egg yolks (save white for meringue) and the whole egg together, stir into the pan and return to a medium heat. Keep stirring vigorously for a few minutes, until the mixture thickens and plops from the spoon. (It will bubble, but doesn't curdle.) Take off the heat and set aside while you make the meringue.
- Put the egg whites in a large bowl. Whisk to soft peaks, then add 100g of the golden caster sugar a spoonful at a time, whisking between each addition without overbeating. Whisk in the cornflour, then add the remaining 100g of sugar as before until smooth and thick.
- Quickly reheat the filling and pour it into the pastry case. Immediately put spoonfuls of meringue around the edge of the filling (if you start in the middle, the meringue may sink), then spread so it just touches the pastry (this will anchor it and help stop it sliding). Pile the rest into the centre, spreading so it touches the surface of the hot filling (and starts to cook), then give it all a swirl.
- Return to the oven for 18-20 mins until the meringue is crisp and slightly coloured. Let the pie sit in the tin for 30 mins, then remove and leave for at least another 30 mins-1 hr before slicing. Eat the same day.

GRANDMA'S LEMON MERINGUE PIE
Grandma Rusche left of with so many wonderful memories and would bake the most wonderful pies I've ever had. Sadly the only one that I know of that she "kind of shared"; or came close to sharing was this Lemon Meringue. She gave me ingredients - and "kind of amounts" and I took that and several recipes I found that included those items as well as the instructions and I've written it here as best I could from what she gave me and I think it comes pretty close with it's tart lemon filling and mile high meringue. One of the big things she always said was you always had to leave at least one seed in the filling, not sure if she said it was for flavor or luck - but hey; I ALWAYS leave ONE seed in as not taking any chances with Grandma's Lemon Pie"

Steps:
- Lemon Filling:.
- Whisk the egg yolks in a medium bowl and set aside.
- In a medium-sized saucepan, add 6 Tbsp cornstarch, 1 1/3 cup sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1 1/2 cups water, and whisk to combine. Bring to a boil on medium heat, whisking constantly. Let simmer for a minute or two until the mixture begins to thicken.
- Once the cornstarch mixture has thickened up well (consistency of Cream of Wheat) remove from heat. Take a spoonful of the cornstarch mixture and whisk it into the beaten egg yolks to temper the yolks. Continue to whisk in spoonfuls of the cornstarch mixture until you've used about half of the cornstarch mixture.
- Then add the egg yolk mixture back to the pot with the cornstarch. Return to a boil, on medium to medium high heat, stirring constantly. Cook 3 to 4 minutes. (The starch will keep the eggs from curdling.).
- Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest, and butter.
- Preheat oven to 325°F.
- Meringue:.
- In a small saucepan, whisk together 1 Tbsp cornstarch and 1/3 cup of cold water until the cornstarch dissolves.
- Heat on medium heat and whisk until the mixture bubbles and thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Whisk together 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons of sugar and 1/4 teaspoon of cream of tartar, set aside.
- Place egg whites and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract in the bowl of your mixer. Start beating the egg whites on low speed and gradually increase the speed to medium.
- Once the egg whites are frothy, add in the sugar and cream of tartar, a spoonful at a time. Beat until the egg whites forming soft peaks.
- Add the gelled cornstarch water mixture a spoonful at a time, as you continue to beat the egg whites. Increase the speed to high and continue to beat until the egg whites have formed stiff peaks.
- Filling Pie Shell:.
- I have not included a pie crust recipe as never got that from Grandma and to this day have not been able to make one to her standards so I use pre-made crusts that I pre-bake according to instructions on the box. I'm STILL trying unsuccessfully; to find the skill or recipe to even come close to her perfect pie crust.
- Heat the lemon filling again, until it is bubbling hot.
- Pour the hot filling into the pre-baked pie shell.
- With a spatula to spread the meringue mixture evenly around the pie making sure to seal to the edges of the pie shell.
- With the back of a spoon create peaks all over the meringue.
- Bake for 20 minutes at 325°F, until the meringue is golden brown.
- Cool completely to room temperature. If the pie is even remotely warm when you cut into it, the lemon base may be runny.
