Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees
• Separate the eggs. Put yolks in one bowl and egg whites in another. Set egg whites aside (let set until room temperature)
• To the egg yolks, add the lemon juice and sweetened condensed milk. Mix until completely blended
• Pour lemon mixture into the pre-made pie crust
• After the egg whites are room temperature, beat until frothy.
• Once frothy, add salt and cream of tartar until soft peaks form
• Adding 1 tablespoon at a time, add sugar and beating a lot between each additional Tablespoon. Beat until stiff peaks form (can take up to 10 mins)
• Once stiff peaks form, use a spatula to place meringue on top of lemon mixture. Make sure to seal (bring to edges) the pie with the meringue.
• Place pie on a cookie sheet and place in the oven at 350 for approximately 5-10 minutes or until the meringue is golden brown.
