Cornstarch Meringue

  • 6 Tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 quart milk
  • 1 ounce butter
  • Salt
  • 3 egg yolks, lightly beaten
  • Juice of 1 large or 2 small lemons
  • Crust
  • 3 egg whites
  • Powdered sugar
Mix the cornstarch with a cup milk to a smooth paste.

Boil 1 quart of milk. Slowly stir in the cornstarch and boil for 4 minutes, stirring all the time. Add butter, a pinch of salt and the beaten egg yolks. Flavor with lemon juice and grated lemon rind. Pour the mixture into a crust you have previously baked.

Make a meringue of the egg whites and powdered sugar. Cover the top of the puddings with it and shape nicely with the back of a spoon. Brown slightly in a quick oven at 400°F.
