Ingredients

Same as regular lemon meringue pie but less crust, less sugar. and non-fat milk.
Crust:
I used half the ingredients called for on the box of graham crumbs, and used an aluminium pie plate left over from a store-bought pie, which is a bit smaller than most home plates.
Melt the butter, add the crumbs and press into the pie plate. Bake at 350degF for about 15 min (don't let it burn). Remove from oven, turn down to 325degF.
Filling:
Squeeze 2 lemons (also use grated rind if you like) and add enough water to make 1c. liquid.
Add powdered milk, corn starch and 1Tbsp sugar or other sweetener. Bring to boil to cook starch. Remove from heat.
Beat TWO egg whites to soft peaks, add 1Tbsp sugar gradually, beating all the time until stiff peaks form.
Fold egg whites into lemon pudding. gently to not deflate the whole thing. Pour into pie plate (use spatula if needed) and bake about 20 minutes at 325degF.
Meringue:
Beat the other 2 whites to soft peaks, add .25c icing sugar gradually to stiff peaks. Arrange on top of filled pie and put in a pre-heated oven on a 350-400deg Broil. Watch it, it only takes a couple minutes to brown.
Serve warm or cool.4 generous portions.
Serving Size: Four generous portions (this is how calories were calculated) or 8 small ones
