Rub the butter and flour with your fingers, add water and mix. Put the dough into a shallow pie dish. Prick some holes into it with a fork and bake it at 225 C for about 15 mins until it's brownish. Mix all the ingredients for the filling in a pan, keep mixing and let it come to a boil. Pour the filling on the crust. Beat the egg whites until hard and then add the sugar gradually. Spread on top of the filling. Bake the pie for about 5 mins, until the meringue gets some colour. Serve cooled.
