High Altitude Meringue for Pie image

Many years ago when I moved to a high altitude area, I found that my meringues on my pies were flat and weepy, unlike those I had made at a lower altitude. I found this recipe, and I was back to making Lemon Meringue Pies again. It adds volume and is much more stable. Works great at any altitude.

Time 15m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 tablespoon cornstarch
6 tablespoons white sugar
1 pinch salt
½ cup water
3 egg whites

Steps:

  • In a glass or ceramic bowl, stir together the cornstarch, sugar and salt. Mix in the water. Heat in the microwave until the mixture is thick and clear, about 2 minutes at full power. Set aside to cool slightly.
  • Beat egg whites in a large glass or metal bowl until foamy. Gradually pour in the sugar mixture while continuing to whip the egg whites until thick and stiff enough to hold a peak. Cover pie filling completely with meringue, sealing to the edges. Bake as directed in the recipe, or in a preheated 450 degrees F (220 degrees C) oven until golden brown, 7 to 8 minutes.

I'm not a huge fan of meringue, but this recipe changed my mind. It's so light and fluffy, and it doesn't have that overly sweet taste that I usually associate with meringue.
