Lemon Meringue Pie

Recipes

Ingredients

  1. 1 cup white sugar
  2. 2 TBS all-purpose flour
  3. 3 TBS cornstarch
  4. 1/4 tsp salt
  5. 1 1/2 cups water
  6. 2 lemons, juiced and zested
  7. 2 TBS butter
  8. 4 egg yolks, beaten
  9. 1 (9-in) pie crust, baked
  10. 4 egg whites
  11. 6 TBS white sugar

Steps

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees

  2. Make lemon filling: in a medium saucepan, whisk together 1 cup sugar, flour, cornstarch, and salt. Stir in water, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until mixture comes to a boil.

  3. Stir in butter. Place egg yolks in a small bowl and gradually whisk in 1/2 of the hot sugar mixture. Whisk egg yolk mixture back into remaining sugar mixture. Bring to a boil and continue to cook while stirring constantly until thick. Remove from heat, pour mixture into baked pie shell.

  4. Make Meringue: in a large glass or metal bowl, whip egg whites until foamy. Add 6 TBS sugar gradually, and continue to whip until stiff peaks form. Spread meringue over pie, sealing the edges at the crust.

  5. Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until meringue is golden brown. Allow to cool. Store covered in refrigerator.
