Lemon Meringue Pie

At the beginning of the month Rodney had said he really wanted a Lemon Meringue Pie. I had told him I'm not really a baker and definitely not a pie maker. But I thought what was the worst that could happen, it doesn't turn out. So I gave it a try and realized that making pies were not as hard as I thought they were. Here is my very first Lemon Meringue Pie. Enjoy!

Ingredients
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup lemon juice
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
2 egg yolks
1 (8-inch) pre-baked pie shell or crust

Meringue
3 egg whites
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/4 cup sugar

Directions
In medium bowl, combine milk, lemon juice, and zest; blend in egg yolks. Pour into cooled crust.

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.

Beat egg whites with cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in the sugar until stiff. Spread over filling; seal to edge of crust. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until meringue is golden brown.
