Lemon Pie

This recipe is in the book. No story... just a recipe for:

Lemon Pie
Moisten 1 heaping tablespoon of cornstarch with a little cold water. Then add 1 teaspoon of butter, a cup of sugar, an egg well beaten, and the juice and rind of a lemon. Add a cup boiling water. Boil until thick, put in a baked pie shell. Frost top and brown.

...guessing this calls for a meringue topping. Meringue recipe anyone?

From an online recipe site:

To Make Meringue: In a large glass or metal bowl, whip egg whites until foamy. Add sugar gradually, and continue to whip until stiff peaks form. Spread meringue over pie, sealing the edges at the crust.

Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until meringue is golden brown.
