ANN LANDERS' BEST EVER LEMON PIE AND MERINGUE image

Categories     Dessert     Bake     Phyllo/Puff Pastry Dough

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 baked 9-inch pie shell
1 1/4 cup granulated sugar
6 tablespoons cornstarch
2 cups water
1/3 cup lemon juice
3 egg yolks
1 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract
2 teaspoons vinegar
3 tablespoons butter
Never-Fail Meringue
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons cold water
1/2 cup boiling water
3 egg whites
6 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch kosher salt

Steps:

  • Mix sugar and cornstarch together in the top of a double boiler. Add the two cups of water. Combine egg yolks with lemon juice and beat until well mixed. Add to the rest of the sugar mixture. Cook over boiling water until thick -- about 25 minutes. This does away with the starchy taste. Now add the lemon extract, butter and vinegar, and stir thoroughly. Pour mixture into deep 9-inch pie shell, and let cool. Cover with meringue, and brown in oven. Never-Fail Meringue: Blend cornstarch and cold water in a saucepan. Add boiling water, and cook, stirring until clear and thickened. Let stand until COMPLETELY cold. With copper lined electric beater at high speed, beat egg whites until foamy. Gradually add sugar, and beat until stiff but not dry. Turn mixer to low speed; add salt and vanilla. Gradually beat in cold cornstarch mixture. Turn mixer again to high, and beat well. Spread meringue over cooled pie filling. Bake at 350 degrees F for 10 minutes or until top is lightly browned.

This pie is a bit too tart for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think I would use less lemon juice next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pie crust turned out really tough. I think I might have overmixed the dough.

The instructions in this recipe are not very clear. I had to guess at a few things, and my pie didn't turn out very well.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pie didn't turn out as good as I expected. The filling was too tart and the meringue was too runny.
