1
Preheat the oven to 400u00b0F. Place pie crust in a 9-inch pie plate (or tart pan with removable bottom), trimming edges. Fill with scrunched foil. Bake pie crust for 10 mins. Remove foil. Bake for 5 mins more, until golden. Cool on a wire rack.
2
Combine 1 cup water, lemon juice, sugar, 1/4 cup cornstarch and flour in a medium saucepan on high heat. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens. Reduce heat to low. Simmer for 3 mins. Whisk in yolks, butter and lemon peel. Cool slightly. Pour into pie crust.
3
Refrigerate for 20 mins, until firm.
4
For the meringue, beat egg whites in a clean bowl with an electric mixer, until soft peaks form. Add sugar gradually, beating until it dissolves and foam is stiff, thick and glossy. Beat in vinegar.
5
Sprinkle remaining 1 tsp cornstarch over lemon filling. Spoon meringue on top. Bake for 5-10 mins, until lightly browned. Serve with whipped cream.
