Got this recipe from the back of a corn starch packet.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup Corn starch
1-1/2 cups sugar
2 cups water
4 egg yolks lightly beaten
1/2 cup lemon juice (or extract)
1 Tbspn grated Lemon peel (1 lemon)
2 Tbspn butter or margarine
4 egg whites
1/2 cup sugar
2 tspn Corn Starch
Method:
Mix 1/2 cup corn starch, 1-1/2 cups sugar, water, and egg yolks in a saucepan over medium heat. Stirring constantky(else it forms lumps), bring mixture to a boil (8 to 10 minutes), reduce heat and continuosly stirring for one minuteuntil very thick. Remove from heat, and add lemon juice, lemon zest and butter, stir well untill smooth. Pour this while hot into a well greased baking pan. Beat egg whites in mixer at high speed until soft peaks form , gradually add 1/2 cup sugar and 2 teaspoons cornstarch, beating until stiff peaks form (tips stand straight), about 3 minutes. Top the lemon mixture in the baking pan by spooning meringue over it, making sure to spread it on the entire surface, use the back of a spoon tp swirl meringue and draw up into peaks. Place oven rack in bottom third of preheated 375 deg F oven. Bake 10 minutes, until peaks are lightly browned. Cool at room teperature for 30 minutes. Chill for minimum of 3 hours before serving. Serve with whipped cream as topping.

Hi Rv,
I'm coming to your blog after a long time. I forgot to add you to my list, hence I've been missing out your posts. I'm really really sorry for that. I just checked your comment on my blog for the cake my son made. Then only I remembered you. Anyway, I'll be a regular visitor now.
Love your Lemon Meringue Pudding. Awesome presentation.
Thanks a loy for visiting my site kribha:) I liked ur blog a lot too:) convey regards to ur hubby and son too from me:)
I made this recipe. Since I like to taste the lemon flavor, I reduced the sugar to 1 cup + 1 T. It was just right, glad I didn't use 1 1/2 c. sugar or it would have been way too sweet. Next time I make it, I will also reduce the cornstarch to 1/3 c., maybe a bit less since I like my pudding a bit creamier - this was very heavy & dense. I didn't add cornstarch to make the meringue and I used 1/3 cup powdered sugar instead of granulated because it mixes so much better. Per instructions, it's in the over now browning the meringue. We can hardly wait to taste it.
