Description

I have made so many pies, but this is my favorite. It's quick too! Addition of butter to the recipe is optional.

Ingredients
  • 1 ½ cups white sugar
  • 7 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 cups water
  • 3 egg yolks
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup orange juice
  • 4 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon lemonade-flavored drink mix powder
  • 3 egg whites
  • ¼ cup white sugar
Directions
  1. 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  2. 2. In a medium bowl combine 1 1/2 cups sugar, cornstarch, water, egg yolks and salt. Cook mixture in a saucepan over medium heat for 6 minutes, stirring constantly until it reaches a thick and creamy consistency; remove from heat.
  3. 3. Add to mixture the orange juice, butter and lemonade-flavored drink mix. Pour into a 9 inch pie dish. In a large glass or metal mixing bowl, beat egg whites until foamy. Gradually add sugar, continuing to beat until whites form stiff peaks. Spread meringue over pie, covering completely.
