mix WELL

scoop into piepan, press down and around with your fingers or a well-greased spoon.

bake the crust at 375 for 7 minutes.  remove, cool.  you may need to re-press it in a few areas

now, the filling and meringue:

seperate 2 eggs, but don't break the yolks doing so.  yolks will ruin any meringue you try to make

now, add the egg yolks to 2 1/4c water, beat via spoon/whisk until mixed, don't overbeat. add one packet of lemon pudding/pie filling to a saucepan, with 3T of white sugar. dump in the egg water, whisk this shit smooth.  cook on medium heat until boiling, stirring constantly. boil for 2 minutes (still stirring), remove from heat

now, get your meringue ready.

2 eggwhites into a bowl. beat until foamy

add cream of tartar (1/4t can be slightly rounded) this breaks down the alkalinity of the eggs, and allows them to foam properly.
beat this into soft peaks

add in 1/4c sugar, bit by bit.  continue beating until meringue holds its shape, and holds peaks when removing spoon from it.

now, being that you just spent 10 or so minutes, your filling and pieshell have cooled somewhat.

You don't understand how to make a lemon pie.

You have to cook the pie WITHOUT the meringue and after you put meringue onto it.

After you use a torch to bake the meringue OR use the oven at high temp to bake it.
