Steps:
- In a saucepan, blend the cornstarch with the water.
- Add the boiling water, and cook, stirring until clear and thickened.
- Let stand until COMPLETELY COLD ( I just put it in the fridge for an hour to speed up the cooling process, but by all means it can sit out at room temperature too).
- With an electric mixer, at high speed, beat the egg whites until foamy.
- Gradually add in the sugar; beat until stiff, but not dry.
- Turn the mixer to low speed; add in the salt and vanilla.
- Gradually beat in the cold cornstarch mixture.
- Turn the mixer onto high again; beat well.
- Spread the meringue over cooled pie filling sealing the meringue to the pie crust.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes, or until the meringue is lightly browned.

MERINGUE TOPPING... YOU DON'T WEEP, IT DOESN'T EITHER!!
My husbands favorite dessert is Lemon Meringue Pie, whenever he is away on business he knows there will be one waiting at home for him! I struggled my first couple times (trying to keep up with my MIL) with the meringue, either it shrank, weeped or my crust was too thin. So I finally looked up a "how to" for meringue. This recipe and directions have really helped me and now my pies are beautiful every time! Read through the steps before starting to be sure you will not miss any. Recipe by Sherry Tomfeld, web

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a small saucepan mix the cornstarch and cold water thoroughly.
- Add boiling water to cornstarch mix and heat to a boil over low-med heat. Stir constantly.
- When it thickens; take off heat and place pan in cool water to cool it down to room temperature BEFORE you add it. Let this rest while starting the next steps.
- Separate 3 egg whites (make sure not even a drop of yolk gets in bowl or it will completely ruin your meringue) and place in a mixing bowl.
- Add lemon juice or vanilla; beat until is stands in soft white peaks (it may take awhile, don't cut the beating short)
- Add sugar ONE Tbs at a time; beat the heck out of the meringue after EACH individual Tbs of sugar is added.
- Keep beating until meringue is glossy and has firm peaks (it will be really shiny and stand straight up on its own).
- Take your saucepan with the cornstarch mix (make sure it is at room temperature) and spoon in all of the mix at once to the meringue; blend well.
- Make sure your pie filling is HOT; starting around the crust add meringue in BIG spoonfuls, press firmly at first to make sure there are NO air pockets and crust is sealed ( I get down eye level with it just to be sure).
- When meringue has totally covered the pie filling, make little peaks with a spoon to fancy it up.
- Bake for about 15 minutes; the meringue will weep if undercooked so make sure it is nicely browned. Use a toothpick when you think it is done, if it comes out clean the meringue is done!
- If you have done all of these steps you should have a perfect meringue, if you use any shortcuts or slack your meringue will suffer.
