Topic: Lemon Meringue Pie

I will post the recipe for this tomorrow when I can be bothered, but here's a lovely picture of what Sparklechick and I had for dessert this evening.

Line a baking dish with sweet short pastry and blind bake at 200 degrees celcius till golden brown. Put aside.

For the lemon curd:
3 egg yolks (NO WHITE! Pull any gooey white off. It's easier now than later), juice and rind of 2 lemons, 2T sugar, 1C water, 3T cornflour. Put all into a double boiler and heat, stirring constantly, till it is thick.

Put aside, and whip the egg whites from the eggs you used the yolks of. Add 4T of caster sugar, 1T at a time, beating well after each T. Whip till it forms peaks. Add 1tsp vanilla essence and beat well.

Spread the lemon curd onto the bottom of the pastry, pour the whipped egg onto that. Bake at 200 celcius for 15-20 minutes or till golden brown.

Man Lemon Meringue Pie would have to be my favourite dessert!

*pouts she wasn't sent any*

I have brought some in to work for afternoon tea.

Lemon meringue pie is one of my favourite desserts too.

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo don't tempt me... I loveeeeeeeee it!

Is it the one made with condensed milk?

*goes out to buy the ingredients for lemon Meringue Pie*

Nope doesn't have any condensed milk in it. Got the recipe from the Edmonds Cookery Bookery.

Oh. My. God.

That looks good. Goooooooooood even.

So what happened to the recipe or am I missing something here? Definately looks yummy.
