medium saucepan, whisk together 


1 cup sugar, flour, 



cornstarch, and salt. Stir in water, 



lemon juice and lemon zest. 


Cook over medium-high heat, 



stirring frequently, until mixture 


comes to a boil. Stir in butter. 



Place egg yolks in a small bowl 


and gradually 



whisk in 1/2 cup of hot sugar mixture. 


Whisk egg yolk 



mixture back into remaining sugar mixture. 


Bring to a boil and continue to cook

To Make Meringue: In a large glass or metal bowl, whip egg
