Categories     dessert

Time 2h20m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 stick (8 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter, cubed
1/3 cup ice water
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 1/4 cups buttermilk, at room temperature
4 large eggs, plus 1 yolk, at room temperature
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Whipped cream, for serving

Steps:

  • For the dough: Add the flour and salt to a food processor and pulse to combine. Add the butter and pulse until the butter forms pea-size pieces. Add the water and continue to pulse until a dough begins to come together. Press the dough into a disc and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, at least 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a disk about 11 to 12 inches wide. Line the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate with the dough, then crimp the edges. Refrigerate while you make the filling.
  • For the filling: Whisk together the sugar, buttermilk, eggs, egg yolk, melted butter, lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla and salt until well blended. Sprinkle in the flour and whisk just until incorporated. Place the pie plate on a baking sheet, then pour the filling over the dough. Bake until the top is golden brown and set around the edges with a slight jiggle in the center, about 1 hour. If the crust begins to get too brown, but the filling isn't ready, cover the edges loosely with foil. Let the pie completely cool to room temperature before slicing. Serve with whipped cream.

Time 1h55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 refrigerated pie crust
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
3 eggs, separated
½ cup lemon juice
2 teaspoons lemon zest
¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
½ cup white sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Press pie crust into a pie plate.
  • Mix sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks, lemon juice, and lemon zest together in a bowl; pour into pie crust.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
  • Five minutes before pie is done, beat egg whites and cream of tartar together in a bowl using an electric mixer on high speed until foamy. Slowly add sugar to egg white mixture and continue beating until meringue forms stiff peaks, about 5 minutes.

Tips:

  • For the perfect meringue, make sure the egg whites are at room temperature and the bowl is completely clean and dry.
  • Beat the egg whites gradually, starting on low speed and increasing to high as the whites become foamy.
  • Add the sugar slowly, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat the egg whites.
  • Keep beating the egg whites until they are stiff and glossy and form peaks that hold their shape.
  • To prevent the meringue from weeping, make sure it is cooked through. Bake the pie for the full amount of time specified in the recipe.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will help the meringue to set and prevent it from collapsing.
