The BEST Lemon Meringue Pie

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 18 มิ.ย. 2024
  • This zingy lemon meringue pie rests in a crisp and flakey homemade butter crust and is topped with a mound of light as air Italian meringue making for an easy to make but very special treat!
    Full Recipe: preppykitchen.com/lemon-merin...
    This pie is a lemon-lover’s dream come true! Tons of zing and a perfect balance of sweetness and textures in each bite. I loved this recipe with a homemade butter crust but you can make a crushed cookie or nut crust if desired.

    Here are a few tips if you guys wanna make dis
    If you don’t have a food processor, you can totally use a kitchen aid stand mixer, works fine
    Don’t have vodka? Use some more water/butter
    Don’t have that pie crust bowl? I used a cupcake tray to make mini pies and they turned out just fine
    DO NOT put the amount of sugar that John puts in the meringue. It will make it WAY TOO SWEET (if u
    like it it very sweet then sure use that much but if it’s too sweet just remember it was ur fault) Use about 3/4 of a cup in the meringue because you will add another cup later in with the syrup.
    If u don’t have a thermometer then don’t worry! Just keep it on the heat for about 1-2minutes after it starts boiling and the bubbles are as big as Johns

    When I was working in a bakery we used to "paint" our dessert pie shells with hot, strained apricot jam, or current jelly depending on the filling and letting it cool before filling. Needless to say, this trick was only for filled pies, not for baked fruit pies. It acts as a barrier and helps keep your crust nice and crisp.

    I find that if you dry mix the sugar and cornstarch first, it helps with having no
    lumps of cornstarch.

      @firstenforemost 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Dry mixing the sugar and cornstarch is best. Second best (if you forget and add the lemon juice to the sugar before adding the cornstarch) is adding a small amount of the lemon juice to the cornstarch in a small bowl first. This will allow you to dissolve the cornstarch without having to search for lumps. Then add it into the pot.

    I’m the pastie queen in my family. Pie crust used to terrify me. Every fall my mom and I would get together on a weekend and make pasties for the winter. She would do the crust (pie crust) I would do the filling. We made a great team until 2004. She was diagnosed with lung cancer and was on oxygen. She still wanted to do our pastie weekend. She could on,y walk me through it. Little did I know she would be giving me the greatest gift. I was thrown into crust making. The first few were a disaster. But by the end of the weekend I was hooked. Now I love making pies. Up until last weekend I had never made a lemon meringue pie in my life. Like when mom showed me the first one was a disaster…it was soup. Second one was a little better…but I had hives and cold sores…apparently I’m a little allergic….but that didn’t stop me. Four days later, armed with Benadryl, my third lemon meringue pie was near perfection. But now I want different crusts. I like your butter vodka crust. My pastie crusts have vinegar in the which makes them flakey. For this last lemon meringue pie I put lemon extract in the crust. But I wonder how great it would be if you replaced the vodka in the crust with Italian lemon cello? I’m going to make one for Mother’s Day and share it with my favorite aunt who is Italian (she married into our family which is mostly German…but we love her cooking), I will let you know.
    I love your videos too by the way.❤️

    Hi, i just made this this afternoon! It worked really well, this is my 2nd time making lemon meringue but your recipe is much better than the one i used before. Can i ask, how would you tone down the lemonyness in the curd? My mum has sensitive teeth so she doesnt like how potent it turned out. Would i add more water/ less lemon juice? Would that affect the firmness of the curd? Please let me know, thank you!

      Hi Nadia, I know I'm a little late but you could try a mixture of different citrus fruits. Maybe try 3/4 lemon and 1/4 lime or orange.

    I had an issue with someone about lemons. They are not all the same. I have tons of lemon trees on my orchard in the beautiful island of Sicily. If you have ever had the lemon we call cedro, you will never forget it. Sweet and tart at the same time. Ciao Bello.

    John, it's always a pleasure to learn and be entertained all at the same time!! Recipe came out great!! As always! Thank you so much :) If I may share a tip, from a clumsy/messy baker to another ... When it's one of those days, I crack my egg in a third bowl without even bothering to separate it with the shell. That's usually the step where I break the yolk if I'm especially "thumbsy" that day :) Then I just pick up the yolk with my hands, dump it in it's bowl and do the same with the white. Cheers my friend!

The lemon curd at its perfect thickness.I used lemons from our own garden, the intense aroma was beautiful The dough came up to be alittle scarce for my " molde" but I spread it a little more. We added some Italian meringue made with the two egg whites that were not used. Thank you from Buenos Aires.

    Made the lemon part yesterday and the meringue today. I used a store bought Graham cracker crust so it's a small pie but the meringue made so much it's literally 4 times taller than the lemon part 😂😂😂 I sampled the filling and meringue while making it and both were delicious. I cannot wait to eat this tonight!!! I wish I could include a photo here. It's literally the tallest lemon meringue pie ever 😂😂😂

    Don't you have to bake it once you top it with meringue to cook the meringue?

    • @SpikeyTech
      @SpikeyTech 23 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      No, because it's an Italian meringue, where the egg whites are cooked by the hot sugar syrup and stabilized with the acid (cream of tartar)

  • @madampolo
    @madampolo 4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    To make a meringue pie, always make sure your filling is very hot. To do this, heat the filling it in a bowl in the microwave to get it hot. Make sure your meringue is ready when you pour the hot filling in the cooked shell. The hot filling will prevent the meringue from weeping and turning to water beneath it. Spread the meringue all the way to the edges. Make sure it touches the edges or you will end up with a hockey puck in the center of your pie. In an oven set to 325, place the pie and watch it. Shoot for 20 minutes to brown your meringue and COOK it! I'm 70 years old now, and this is how my mother taught me to make a meringue pie. I guess this goes back maybe 100 years, and it always ends in success.
