The Infamous Lemon Meringue Pie

For those of you who know my Meme, she is known for her southern desserts. My two favorites: banana pudding and lemon meringue pie.

I've tried to make both for years and can't seem to get it right! I made it a hundred times and it was not as good as my Meme's.

As I was going over the recipe one day with my grandma, she said no wonder you can't get it right...your recipe is wrong.

I had to add the correction in...Thanks P for printing me the wrong recipe!

Lemon Meringue Pie also happens to be Thomas's favorite. I don't think he's ever had Meme's lemon meringue which might be why he likes mine :)

Simple ingredients...also need sugar and a dash of cream of tarter

Use an egg seperator...This is one of a kind!

Mix egg yolks and can of condensed milk together... then slowly add 1/2 cup of lemon juice

Beat the egg whites until they are stiff, then add 6 tablespoons of sugar and a dash of cream of tarter

I don't have a finished product picture...It never turns out pretty when I make it! Maybe one of these days

Here is the recipe...
3 eggs, seperated
1 can condensed milk
1/2 cup lemon juice

For meringue,
egg whites
6 tablespoons sugar
dash of cream of tarter

Mix egg yolks and condensed milk together. Slowly add lemon juice while mixing. Mix until it is REALLY yellow. I put mine in the fridge so it is cold before I put the meringue on

For meringue, mix egg whites until they are stiff (I measure mine by if I can turn them over in the bowl)
Add 6 tablespoons of sugar
then add a dash of cream of tarter ( I like to add 2)

Hopefully, yours will turn out as good as Meme's :)



Love,
K
