Cup of Yum
Lemon Curd Filling

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.
