    No, of course not - it's mixed well with water and other ingredients and when cooked, it thickens the sauce

    Awesome! This reminds me of my Grandmother's homemade pie. I wouldn't change a thing. - 10/14/11

    Wonderful! It just needs 1/4 t cream of tartar added to the egg whites to stabilize the meringue. - 5/14/10

    I really liked the way this pie tasted, but I must have done something wrong with the meringue. Even though it was watery, it baked just fine over the top. For some reason, my refrigerated left-over pie turned into a lemon puddle by the next day. No matter though, it still tasted great in a bowl. - 1/25/10

    This looks good, but you've listed egg yolks twice in the ingredients instead of the whites. - 4/3/09
