    Recipe Introduction


    This is best made and filled just prior to eating. Does not freeze well.

    Makes one 9 inch shell

    List of Ingredients




    3 egg whites, at room temperature
    1/8 tsp salt
    1/4 tsp. cream of tartar or lemon juice
    1/2 cup GFCF confectioners' sugar
    1/4 cup finely chopped nuts (optional)

    Recipe



    Preheat oven to 275 F.

    Grease 9 inch pie plate well; make sure you cover the bottom and sides.

    Beat egg whites with cream of tartar or lemon juice and salt until just frothy. Continue to beat while adding the sugar a bit at a time. Continue beating until the egg whites turn stiff and glossy.

    Stir in nuts quickly, with minimum stirring, and pour meringue into pie shell. Smooth to form a proper pie shell.

    Bake for one to 1 - 1/2 hours, or until light brown and crisp
    throughout. Cool to room temperature, then fill.
