Combine 1 cup sugar, flour, corn starch and salt in a medium pot. Stir in milk and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly. Bring to a boil. Add butter and stir till melted. Turn off heat. Scoop out 1/2 cup and slowly stir it into the 4 egg yolks. Add that mixture back to the pot and cook until thickened. While that is still hot, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar until stiff peaks start to form. Gradually beat in the remaining 6 tablespoons of sugar.

Spread the filling into the pie crust. Spread the meringue over the top. Bake at 350F for 10-15 minutes or until meringue starts to turn golden. Cool at room temperature for 1 hour and then refrigerate for 3 hours before serving.

Notes:

To keep the meringue from shrinking, you must spread it over the filling while the filling is still hot.

The reason the lemon part of my pie pictured above looks so orange is that our chickens' egg yolks are very orange!
