Comment préparer Bullock's Tea Room Lemon Meringue Pie

**Make the Lemon Filling:** In a double boiler's top, whisk together 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar, and 1 cup boiling water until smooth.
Cook over simmering water, stirring constantly, for 15-20 minutes, or until the filling thickens and becomes translucent.
In a separate bowl, lightly beat 4 large egg yolks. Temper the hot filling by slowly whisking a few tablespoons into the egg yolks, then pour the yolk mixture back into the double boiler and cook for 2 more minutes, stirring constantly.
Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup fresh lemon juice, the zest of 2 lemons, and 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) unsalted butter until melted and incorporated.
Pour the cooled lemon filling into your prepared 9-inch pie crust.
**Make the Meringue:** Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a clean, grease-free bowl, beat 4 large egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
Gradually add 1 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar, continuing to beat until stiff, glossy peaks form.
Gently spoon the meringue over the lemon filling, ensuring it completely covers the edges.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the meringue is lightly browned and the filling is set.
