Ingredients:

  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp shortening
  • 1 tbsp cold butter
  • 1 tsp cold water
  • filling:
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup cold water
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • meringue:
  • 2 tbsp sugar

Directions:

  1. In a bowl, combine flour and salt; cut in shortening and butter until crumbly. Gradually add water, tossing with a fork until dough forms a ball. Divide in half. Roll each portion into a 5-in. circle. Transfer to two 10-oz. custard cups. Press dough 1-1/8 in. up sides of cups. Place on a baking sheet. Bake at 425° for 7-10 minutes or until golden brown.
  2. In a saucepan, combine sugar, cornstarch and salt. Gradually stir in cold water until smooth. Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened and bubbly. Reduce heat; cook and stir 2 minutes more. Remove from the heat.
  3. Stir half of hot filling into egg yolk; return all to the pan. Bring to a gentle boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in lemon juice and butter.
  4. Pour into pastry shells. In a small bowl, beat egg white and cream of tartar on medium speed until soft peaks form. Spread evenly over hot filling, sealing edges to crust. Bake at 350° for 15-20 minutes or until meringue is golden brown. Cool on a wire rack for 1 hour; refrigerate for at least 3 hours before serving. Yield: 2 servings.
