Ingredients

1 can sweetened condensed milk
2 Lemons, Juice of (Fresh is better than those concentrate things)
2 Egg Yolks
Grahm Cracker Crust
3 lrg Egg whites at room temperature
1/2 teaspoon Vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon Cream of tartar, See note
6 tablespoons Superfine sugar

Preparation

Meringue:(Note: if you are using a copper bowl, omit cream of tartar, you'll get pavement instead of meringue. The chemical reaction between the bowl and the egg does the same thing as the cream of tartar.)
3
Beat egg whites, vanilla and cream of tartar until mixture holds stiff peaks. Gradually add the sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until very stiff and glossy. All sugar must be dissolved.
4
Makes a great dessert after a big ol' plate of barbecue.
