PERFECT LEMON MERINGUE PIE
Well - I think it is perfect at least. ;) This is a recipe that is a combination of several other lemon meringue pie recipes found here (as well as Alton Brown's on foodnetwork.com). I wanted a recipe that had a lot of lemon flavor, but wasn't too tart, and one that stood up pretty well. You may want to modify the sugar in the filling depending on the tartness of your lemons. This recipe also includes my mom's old pie crust recipe. A very easy pie crust that is always flaky and always good.

Steps:
- Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees.
- PIE CRUST:.
- Mix flour, vegetable shortening, and salt together in a bowl using a wired pastry cutter. The dough should form into small clumps that don't feel greasy.
- Using a tablespoon, put the ice cold water in one tablespoon at a time, mixing as you go. I usually start with about four - six tablespoons and work my way up from there. The dough will eventually form into a ball. The dough should not feel wet on the outside, just slightly moist and if you break it in 1/2, it should not feel soggy on the inside. If you put in a little too much water, you can always add a bit more flour.
- If you like, you can wrap the dough and place it in the refrigerator for awhile at this stage. Using the ice water, though, removes the need to refrigerate if you don't want to.
- When you're ready to roll, dust your work surface (I use taped-down wax paper for this), your hands, your rolling pin, and your dough with flour. Roll out the dough on your work surface starting in the middle and working outward. Try to keep it in circle form, but it isn't a huge deal. Roll it until it is about 1/4" thick all over.
- Lift up the dough and place it in your pie dish.
- Poke the dough at the bottom of the pie dish with a fork all over. Take the teaspoon or so of sugar and sprinkle it all along the bottom, covering the fork holes. This prevents the bottom of the crust from getting soggy your filling to leaking.
- Around the top rim of your pie dish, pinch the dough so that it forms a small peak all around the rim. I do this by placing my index finger of my left hand on the top of the rim and the thumb from my left hand on the bottom. I then do the same with my right hand about one inch to the right. I slide my right hand (still gripping the dough) toward my left hand, allowing the dough on top of the rim to peak.
- Once this is done, dip two fingers in water, place around one of the peaks and pull your fingers back and down onto the rim of the pie dish to seal the "valleys" of your dough to the pie dish. This prevents them from coming up when baking.
- For the lemon meringue pie, you need to pre-bake your pie crust a bit. The fork wholes at the bottom should prevent it from bubbling up. If you want, you can line the crust with parchment paper and put in some dry beans while baking it to help keep the shape.
- Bake at 400 for 20-25 minutes or until it starts turning brown. You'll be baking it for about another 10 minutes later, so you don't want it to get too brown.
- Allow the pie crust to cool while making the filling and meringue.
- Reduce the oven to 375 degrees.
- LEMON FILLING:.
- Whisk sugar, cornstarch, and salt together in a medium (3 quart) saucepan.
- Blend water and egg yolks together.
- Turn heat on medium and gradually add water and egg yolks to the mixture.
- Continue to heat on medium, allowing the mixture to simmer, stirring constantly until thickened.
- Remove from heat, gently stir in juice and zest and then stir in butter until it melts.
- Put aside while preparing meringue, but don't allow mixture to cool.
- MERINGUE:.
- In a small saucepan, mix cornstarch, water, and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally until thickened and clear. Remove from heat.
- In a mixing bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar until foamy.
- Beat in vanilla extract.
- Beat in 1/2 cup of sugar, a little at a time.
- Finally beat in cornstarch mixture a little at a time and continue beating until all the sugar has dissolved and the meringue forms a soft peak.
- ASSEMBLING THE PIE:.
- Pour the warm lemon filling into the pie crust and smooth it until it is even.
- Top the pie with meringue, pushing the edges of the pie crust - ensuring that it makes a good seal with the crust. I like to use the back of a spoon to form little peaks in the meringue.
- Heat at 375 for 10-15 minutes until meringue turns a soft golden brown.
- Allow to cool completely before serving.
ULTIMATE LEMON MERINGUE PIE

Steps:
- For the pastry, put the plain flour, butter, icing sugar, egg yolk (save the white for the meringue) and 1 tbsp cold water into a food processor. Pulse until the mix starts to bind - make sure the mix is not overworked.
- Tip the pastry onto a lightly floured surface, gather together until smooth, then roll out and line a 23 x 2.5cm loose-bottom fluted flan tin. Trim and neaten the edges. Press pastry into the flutes. The pastry is quite rich, so don't worry if it cracks, just press it back together. Prick the base with a fork, line with foil, shiny side down, and chill for 30 mins-1 hr (or overnight).
- Put a baking sheet in the oven and heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Bake the pastry case 'blind' (filled with dry beans) for 15 mins, then remove the foil and bake a further 5-8 mins until the pastry is pale golden and cooked. Set aside. Can be done a day ahead. Lower the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4.
- While the pastry bakes, prepare the filling. Mix the cornflour, golden caster sugar and lemon zest in a medium saucepan. Strain and stir in the lemon juice gradually. Make the orange juice up to 200ml with water and strain into the pan. Cook over a medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened and smooth.
- Once the mixture bubbles, remove from the heat and beat in the butter until melted. Beat the egg yolks (save white for meringue) and the whole egg together, stir into the pan and return to a medium heat. Keep stirring vigorously for a few minutes, until the mixture thickens and plops from the spoon. (It will bubble, but doesn't curdle.) Take off the heat and set aside while you make the meringue.
- Put the egg whites in a large bowl. Whisk to soft peaks, then add 100g of the golden caster sugar a spoonful at a time, whisking between each addition without overbeating. Whisk in the cornflour, then add the remaining 100g of sugar as before until smooth and thick.
- Quickly reheat the filling and pour it into the pastry case. Immediately put spoonfuls of meringue around the edge of the filling (if you start in the middle, the meringue may sink), then spread so it just touches the pastry (this will anchor it and help stop it sliding). Pile the rest into the centre, spreading so it touches the surface of the hot filling (and starts to cook), then give it all a swirl.
- Return to the oven for 18-20 mins until the meringue is crisp and slightly coloured. Let the pie sit in the tin for 30 mins, then remove and leave for at least another 30 mins-1 hr before slicing. Eat the same day.

- To make the pastry, sift the flour and salt into a bowl. Rub in the butter using your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Stir in the sugar.
- Add the egg yolks and then the cold water, a little at a time, using a table knife to bring the pastry together. If the mixture is too dry to hold together, add a little more water.
- Transfer the pastry on the rolling pin to a 23cm/9in loose-bottomed tart tin, pressing it into all the corners and allowing excess pastry to hang over the edge.
- Place the lined tart tin on a baking sheet. Line the pastry case with baking paper and ceramic baking beans or dried beans. Bake for 15–20 minutes. Remove the beans and paper and bake for a further 5–8 minutes, until pale golden.
- To make the filling, combine the cornflour and sugar in a saucepan, then stir in the lemon juice and 300ml/10½fl oz water until smooth. Bring to the boil, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens.
- Stir in the lemon zest and butter and mix until combined. Pour it into the pastry case and set aside to cool completely. The mixture should be smooth, thickened and set.
- To make the meringue, put the sugar and 75ml/2½fl oz water into a saucepan and gently bring to the boil, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Cook until the sugar syrup reaches 120C on a thermometer.
- Meanwhile, put the egg whites into a free-standing mixer with a balloon whisk. When the syrup reaches 110C, start whisking until stiff peaks form when the whisk is removed.
