Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- Separate the eggs. Beat the egg yolks and set the whites aside.
- Combine the 1 cup white sugar, flour, cornstarch and salt in a saucepan. Gradually stir in the water. Cook over medium heat until thickened.
- Gradually stir the cooked sugar mixture into the beaten egg yolks, beating constantly. Return the mixture to low heat and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Stir in the butter, lime juice and lime zest. Let mixture cool slightly.
- Beat egg whites until light and frothy. Add the cream of tartar and continue beating until stiff peaks form. Gradually beat in the remaining 6 tablespoons white sugar and beat until the meringue is stiff and glossy.
- Pour the lime filling into the prepared pie shell. Then pile the meringue on top, spreading it until it touches the edges of the pastry to prevent the meringue from shrinking. Bake pie at 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) for 5 to 6 minutes or until meringue top is golden brown.

KEY LIME MERINGUE PIE MADE WITH NO CONDENSED MILK
I have this thing about canned condensed milk. Every time I look at the number of calories in the can, I just balk at using it. But I do love Key Lime Pie in spite of the fact that most recipes use the condensed milk. So I was delighted to find a recipe for this favorite without the condensed milk. It may end up having the same number of calories, but I will just feel better knowing I avoided the high-calorie milk. I have not yet tried this recipe; I am saving it for a special occasion. Note that preparation time includes cooling time.

Tips:
- Use fresh key limes for the best flavor. If you can't find key limes, you can use regular limes, but the flavor will be slightly different.
- Make sure the egg whites are at room temperature before you start making the meringue. This will help them whip up more easily.
- Don't overbeat the egg whites. Overbeaten egg whites will be dry and crumbly, and they won't hold their shape.
- Bake the pie until the meringue is golden brown. This will help to prevent the meringue from weeping.
- Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will help the meringue to set and the flavors to meld.
Conclusion:
This key lime meringue pie is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy filling, tangy key lime flavor, and fluffy meringue topping, this pie is sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a special dessert to make, give this key lime meringue pie a try. You won't be disappointed!
