1 stick or 1/2 packet Betty Crocker pie crust mix
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/3 cup plus 1 tbsp. cornstarch
1 1/2 cups water
3 egg yolks, slightly beaten
3 tbsp. butter or margarine
2 tsp. grated lemon peel
1/2 cup lemon juice
2 drops yellow food color
Meringue

Prepare 9" Baked Pie Shell as directed on package. Heat oven to 400F. In medium saucepan, mix sugar and cornstarch. Gradually stir in water. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and boils. Boil and stir 1 minute.

Gradually stir at least half the hot mixture into egg yolks. Blend into hot mixture in pan. Boil and stir 1 minute. Remove from heat; stir in butter, lemon peel, juice and food color. Pour into baked pie shell.

Heap meringue onto hot pie filling; spread over filling, carefully sealing meringue to edge of crust to prevent shrinking or weeping. Bake about 10 minutes or until delicate brown. Cool away from draft.
