Default Meringue lemon pie

Thank you Wayne! It seams very good. Now I must save and translate. Then if
I have to ask something I 'll have to desturbe you again
I think I have not the "pie plate". I have to search it on web to understand
what it is. Then I must search cream tartar because not many shops sells it.
BTW thank you again Wayne for your sweet recipe.

> PASTRY CRUST: Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Combine flour and salt in

> Bake pie for 30 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 275 degrees F. and
> continue to bake untiil meringue is golden brown and set when pie is
> shaken
