- instructions :
Mix crust ingredients well and place on a 9-inch pie pan. Bake at 375 degrees for 10 minutes and set aside to cool. We reduce the oven temperature to 326 degrees. In a mixing bowl, combine condensed milk, lemon juice, lemon peel and egg yolk. Stir until the mixture thickens. Pour into a cooled crust. Add the cream of tartar to the egg whites and beat until almost set. Gradually add sugar, whisking until stiff and glossy, but not dry. Pinch a little over the pie filling. Bake at 325 until light brown, about 15 minutes. Cool well. Enjoy! Tip: Try to make the crust very even and not too thick.
Enjoy!
