1-1/2 cups water
3 eggs, separated
2 TBS butter or margarine

Beat together egg yolks and 1/2 cup sugar in a bowl. To proof eggs, add 1/4 cup hot mixture into the egg yolk mixture first and then slowly add this egg mixture into the double boiler.

Cook over boiling water for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from water; add butter, juice and zest. Cool. Pour into baked pie shell.

Top with meringue which has been prepared with egg whites and remaining white sugar. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until top is golden brown.
