Ingredients
1 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar

4 egg yolks, slightly beaten
1/2 cup sugar
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon lemon zest, grated
1 pint heavy cream, whipped
Directions
1Sift together 1 cup sugar and 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar.

5Bake for 1 hour at 225 degrees.
6Stir in 1/2 cup sugar to egg yolks with lemon juice and zest, cook in double boiler (or Micro) until very thick about 8-10 minutes.
7Cool.
8Combine 1/2 whipped cream with Lemon egg mixture and fill meringue shell, chill 24 hours.
9Cover with remaining whipped cream.
10Serve!
