• Thoroughly mix crust ingredients and pack into a nine inch pie pan.
• Bake at 375 degrees for 10 minutes and put aside to cool.
• Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees.
• In a mixing bowl, combine condensed milk, lemon juice, lemon zest and egg yolks.
• Stir until mixture thickens.
• Pour into cooled crust.
• Add cream of tartar to the egg whites and beat until almost stiff.
• Add sugar gradually, beating until stiff and glossy but not dry.

• Bake at 325 until lightly browned, about 15 minutes.
• Cool thoroughly.
• Hint: try to get the crust thickness very even and not too thick.
