Instructions
Crust
- Roll your crust out til it is about 1/4 inch thick.
- Cut into rounds to fit your pan (a mini muffin pan and a glass works great!).
- Place rounds in a mini muffin or tart pan, and press gently to make a well.
- Preheat the oven to 350F.
- Bake the crusts til they are golden brown (about 10-15 minutes - keep an eye on them).
- Remove, and cool.
Lemon Curd Filling
- Fill the pies almost to the top, and set aside while you make the meringue.
Meringue Topping
- Whisk together the egg whites and cream of tarter until soft peaks form.
- GRADUALLY add the sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
- Top your lemon pies with the meringue.
- Place pies under a broiler and broil until browned and crispy.
- Let pies cool.
- Devour.
Notes
- Kylee's Tips for Lemon Meringue Pie
- Bake the pie crusts ahead, and make the lemon curd a day before. When it's time for dessert - just whip up the meringue and broil - ta da!!
- About egg whites:
- About egg whites:
- Soft peaks barely hold their shape. The peaks flop over immediately when the beaters are lifted.
- Medium peaks stand straight up, but the tip curls down a little bit when the beaters are lifted
- Stiff peaks stand straight up when the beaters are lifted.
