Directions

In heavy saucepan combine 1-1/2 cups sugar, cornstarch, flour and salt. Gradually stir in water until well blended. Bring to a boil, stirring, over medium heat. Boil 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Whisk about half the mixture into egg yolks. Whisk egg yolk mixture back into hot mixture. Re to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil, stirring, 3 minutes more. Add lemon peel, juice and butter; cook, stirring, about 2 minutes more, until very thick. Cover and set aside while making the meringue. Preheat oven to 350°F. In mixer bowl beat egg whites and cream of tartar until foamy. Gradually beat in remaining 1/2 cup sugar until soft peaks form. Beat in vanilla. Spoon hot filling into baked pie shell.
