Filling:
Mix the sugar and cornstarch together. Add the hot
water to mix, in a sauce pan over moderate heat stirring
constantly until thick. Slowly pour this hot mixture
into the separated yolks from the three eggs, and
cook for one minute. Remove the pan from heat and
add the margarine, lemon juice and lemon zest. Return
the pan to heat and cook a couple of minutes until
firm. Pour into a cooled, pre-baked 9 inch pie shell.
Meringue:
Beat the three separated egg whites until they form
soft peaks. Beat in the sugar and vanilla. Top the
pie with the finished meringue. Brown the meringue
in broiler oven. Serve.
