Filling
2 Egg Yolks
100g White Sugar
Zest & Juice of 1 Large Lemon
125g Boiling water
25g Cornflour/Cornstarch (make a slurry with cold water, it should be the consistency of cream

Meringue
100g White Sugar
2 Egg whites
1/4 tsp. Cream of Tartar (or a few drops of lemon juice)

Method
Line an 18cm flan tin/pie plate with your pastry and blind bake as per the video.
Beat the egg yolks with 100g of the sugar, add the lemon juice, zest, juice and boiling water.
Bring to the boil and add the cornflour slurry, stirring all the time until it thickens.
Pour into the pastry case.
Whisk the egg white and cream of tartar on slow speed until well frothy (not stiff yet) Add the sugar in 3 - 4 lots whisking well in between. Once all the sugar is in you can whisk on full speed for about 4 - 5 minutes until glossy and stiff.
Spread over the lemon filling making sure it comes right to the pastry edge.
Bake at 150ºC for about 15 - 20 minutes until the surface is pale golden. Now turn your oven off, open the door slightly and leave for a further 20 minutes before removing.
