Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 8 or 9 inch baked pie crust
FILLING
1 ½ c sugar
7 Tbsp cornstarch
3 egg yolks beaten
1 1/2 cups hot water
2 Tbsp butter
1/2 c lemon juice
1 tsp lemon peel finely grated
MERINGUE
3 egg whites
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
1 tsp lemon peel finely grated
1 Tbsp lemon juice

Steps:

  • 1. Prepare or bake the pie crust of your choice.
  • 2. Measure the sugar, cornstarch, and salt into a pan and whisk to mix. Slowly add the hot water stirring constantly and cook over direct heat until the mixture is thick and clear, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir. Stir ½ cup of the hot mixture into the beaten yolks then stir the yolk mixture back into the hot mixture. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in butter. Add lemon peel and juice and stir until smooth. Cool and pour into baked pie shell.
  • 3. Meringue: Beat egg whites with the cream of tartar until frothy. Gradually beat in the 6 Tbs. of sugar a little at a time. Beat until the meringue stands in firm, glossy, peaks. Add lemon juice and lemon peel and continue to beat a few more minutes. Spread meringue on pie making sure it touches the inner edges of the crust. Bake in a slow oven (325F) 10 minutes, or, until delicately browned. Cool.

Tips:

  • For a flaky crust: Use a combination of butter and shortening, and keep the dough cold until it's ready to bake.
  • For a smooth, creamy filling: Use fresh lemon juice and zest, and make sure the butter and cream cheese are at room temperature before mixing.
  • For a perfect meringue: Use fresh egg whites and make sure the sugar is dissolved before adding it to the egg whites.
  • To prevent the meringue from cracking: Bake the pie at a low temperature for a longer period of time.
  • For a glossy meringue: Brush the top of the meringue with milk before baking.
  • To serve: Let the pie cool completely before serving. Garnish with fresh lemon slices and a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
