LEMON CUSTARD PIE

Make a good pie crust and prick bottom. Put one cup sugar and one cup water in a saucepan and let come to a boil. Mix one tablespoonful cornstarch in a little water and add to water and sugar on stove. When thick take off stove and add a small chunk of butter; stir it up. Stir in the yolks of two eggs and grated rind and juice of one lemon. Beat whites of two eggs until thick and spread over pie when cooked; then put in oven to brown.
