Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

-----------------------LEMON FILLING----------------------------
15 oz Sweetened condensed milk 1 t Lemon zest
1/2 c Lemon juice 2 ea Egg yolks

--------------------------MERINGUE-------------------------------
2 ea Egg whites 4 T Sugar
1/4 t Cream of tartar

--------------------GRAHAM CRACKER CRUST-------------------------
18 ea Graham cracker squares 1/3 c Sugar
1/4 lb Butter or margarine, 1/8 t Cinnamon

Thoroughly mix crust ingredients and pack into a nine inch pie pan.
Bake at 375 degrees for 10 minutes and put aside to cool. Reduce oven
temperature to 325 degrees. In a mixing bowl, combine condensed milk,
lemon juice, lemon zest and egg yolks. Stir until mixture thickens.
Pour into cooled crust. Add cream of tartar to the egg whites and
beat until almost stiff. Add sugar gradually, beating until stiff and
glossy but not dry. Pile lightly on pie filling.

Cool thoroughly. Enjoy! Hint: try to get the crust thickness very
even and not too thick.
