Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 7

9 large eggs, separated
2 c sugar separated
1/2 c cornstarch
1 c lemon juice concentrate or fresh
1/4 tsp salt
4 Tbsp butter cut in small cubes

  • 4. Transfer to a heavy saucepan, place over medium heat and heat until the mixture comes to a full boil, whisking constantly. Reduce heat to low and let bubble for 15 seconds. Be careful not to overcook the filling or it will separate. Remove from heat and whisk in the butter.

The meringue is the star of this pie. It's so light and fluffy, and it browns beautifully in the oven.

I've tried many lemon meringue pie recipes, but this one is by far the best. The secret is in the meringue - it's made with a combination of egg whites and powdered sugar, which gives it a perfect texture.
