Description
Lemon meringue pie[1] [2] is a sweet dessert treat.
Ingredients
- 1 baked 9" pastry shell
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1/2 cup cold water
- 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
- 3 egg yolks, well beaten
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 1/2 cups boiling water
- 1 tsp. grated lemon rind
Meringue
- 3 egg whites
- 1/4 tsp cream of tartar
- 6 tablespoons white granulated sugar
Procedures
Combine sugar, cornstarch, salt. Beat in egg yolks, lemon juice, cold water until smooth consistency; then add butter and boiling water. Mix over medium heat, slowly bring to boil while continuously stirring. When it boils lower the heat and simmer for 1 minute. After 1 minute remove from heat and add lemon rind, mixing well. Pour this into the cool cooked shell. Allow to cool and a film to develop.
Meringue; Froth egg whites - medium speed. Add in tartar and beat at high speed until smooth (no foam). Add sugar, 1 tbsp at a time, while beating at medium speed. Finish at a high speed making the meringue glossy and semi stiff. Mound onto pie.
Bake in oven at 350 degrees F for ~14 minutes, when golden brown. Place on a cooling rack for ~2 hours.
