   1                    9-Inch Pastry Shell
                        (Baked And Cooled)
   6                    Eggs -- separated
     1/2  Cup           Sugar
   1      Teaspoon      Grated Lemon Peel
     1/3  Cup           Lemon Juice
     1/8  Teaspoon      Salt
   3      Tablespoons   Sugar

    Beat the egg yolks and the 1/2 cup sugar with an elrctric mixer
 until very thick and pale yellow. Gradually beat in the lemon peel, juice, and salt.
 Pour mixture into the top of a double boiler, and set over simmering water.
 Cook, stirring constantly, until smooth and thickened, about 8 minutes.
 Set aside to cool slightly.   Beat egg whites until
soft peaks form; gradually add the 3 T. sugar, beating until
glossy. Fold the slightly cooled custard mixture into the beaten egg whites. 
Spoon the mixture into the pastry shell. Bake in the top half of a 350` oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or
JUST until filling is set and lightly browned on top. Let cool before serving.
