• In a small cup/bowl,combine the egg yolks with lemon juice, and the yellow food colouring; whisk until well mixed.
• Add to the sugar cornstarch mixture; whisk until mixed.
• Cook and mix/whisk until mixture thickens (about 6-7 minutes, do not over-boil mixture or it will not set properly), if you are making in a saucepan, be careful not to scorch the bottom of the pan, a double-boiler is definitely recommended for this.
• Remove from heat.
• Add/mix in the lemon extract, butter and vinegar; stir thoroughly.
• Pour the lemon mixture into cooled pie shell; set aside to make meringue.
• To make meringue:.
• Blend/whisk the cornstarch and cold water in a small saucepan.

• Turn mixer to low speed; add in pinch salt and vanilla.
• Gradually beat in the cold cornstarch mixture.
• Turn mixer again to high; beat well.
• Spread/pile meringue over cooled pie filling, making certain to seal the meringue to the baked crust.
• Set oven to 350°F, and bake for 10 minutes, or until the meringue is lightly browned.

Steps:

• "Oh, no. Red ugly spots on pretty face. You fix with egg yolk." I said, "Are you serious? Do you think it would really help?"
• She replied, "Yes, you put raw egg yolk on face and let dry for 10 minutes, then wash off. Do every day for one month, and spots go away. You do again two times in every month for three months and again if trouble starts."
• I was unconvinced but thanked her anyway. That night I decided I had very little to lose since the acne was terrible and nothing else had worked. Well, Ann, that woman knew what she was talking about. Since then, I've told several friends about the egg-yolk cure and the success rate has been phenomenal.
• Please tell your readers. They'll be forever grateful. ---Silky Skin in Washington
• Dear Silky: I faxed your letter to Dr. Mary Ellen Brademas, a superb dermatologist in New York, and this is her response:
• For many years, topical applications of Vitamin A have been prescribed by physicians as a treatment for acne. Because egg yolks are an excellent source of Vitamin A, it is not surprising that raw egg yolks improve acne lesions. It is interesting that the writer's lesions appeared after periods of stress. Stress can make acne worse and can also worsen other conditions such as ulcers and psoriasis.
• In any case, sometimes there is a simple scientific basis for success in home remedies.
