OLD SCHOOL LEMON MERINGUE PIE
MY FAVORITE DESSERT OF ALLTIME
ALSO THE VERY FIRST THING I EVER LEARNED TO BAKE AT AGE OF 12 years old
recipe:
5 large egg yolks
6 Tbsp cornstarch
1 1/3 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup lemon juice
2 teaspoons lemon zest
2 Tbsp butter
for the meringue
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 cup plus 2 Tbsp white granulated sugar
5 large egg whites (room temperature)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
In a medium-sized saucepan, add 6 Tbsp cornstarch, 1 1/3 cup sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1 1/2 cups water, and whisk to combine. Bring to a boil on medium heat, whisking constantly. Let simmer for 1 minute. The mixture will begin to thicken.
Once the cornstarch mixture has thickened up well (consistency of Cream of Wheat) remove from heat. Take a spoonful of the cornstarch mixture and whisk it into the beaten egg yolks to temper the yolks. Continue to whisk in spoonfuls of the cornstarch mixture until you've used about half of the cornstarch mixture.
Then add the egg yolk mixture back to the pot with the cornstarch. Reduce the heat to low and cook for a minute, stirring.
Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest, and butter. Add to cooked pie shell
For meringue
Whip egg white untill soft peaks
Slowly add the sugar and cream of tar tar untill stiff peaks
Top on pie and brown in oven
