Best-Damn-Lemon-Ice-Box-Pie-On-Earth

3 eggs (room temperature)
1/2 cup of lemon juice (fresh is best) (Micro-waving for a minute or less produces more juice)
1 teaspoon grated lemon rind - using the outside only with as little of the white inner flesh as possible (also referred to as zest) Grate lemon rind before micro-waving and/or juicing lemons
1 can 14 oz of condensed milk

For the meringue topping:
3 egg whites from the above 3 separated eggs
1 tablespoon water
1 pinch salt
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
5 tablespoons of sugar

Separate the eggs (MAKE SURE no yolk gets into the whites!). Beat the egg yolks well. Add lemon juice and grated rind. Add milk. Mix well. Pour into a Graham cracker crust. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 12-15 minutes.

For the meringue topping:
The three (3) egg whites should be beaten in the large mixer bowl. Add one tablespoon of water and a pinch of salt. Beat on high until foamy and add one-fourth teaspoon cream of tartar. Beat until stiff. Add one tablespoon of sugar at a time (Mix well each addition) until 5 tablespoons have been added. Fold in one teaspoon of vanilla. Cover the top of the pie with meringue. Bake at 350 degrees F. until the top is a golden brown.
