I once had a recipe for Lemon Merigue Pie from America's Test Kitchen, but lost it...if anyone has it or another yummy recipe for the pie I would greatly appreciate it!!! Thanks! ++++++++++++++++++++++++ Smile 06-24-03, 09:42 PM Di Pie Shell 4 tbs. corn starch 4 tbs. flour 1/4 tsp. salt 1 1/4 cups sugar 1 1/2 cups cold water
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Prick the bottom and sides of pie shell and bake for 16-18 minutes, until lightly browned. Mix the cornstarch, flour, salt, sugar and water in saucepan. Cook over medium -high heat, stirring constantly until thickened, about three minutes after coming to a 'boil'. Remove from heat. _____________
Grated rind of 2 lemons 1/2 cup lemon juice (not concentrate) 2 tbs. butter 4 egg yolks, slightly beaten
Stir in the lemon rind, lemon juice and butter. Stir 1/2 cup of the hot mixture into the egg yolks, then stir the youlks into the remaining hot mixture and cook, stirring, for another 3 minutes. Let cool a bit. Spread the lemon mixture in the baked pie shell and cover with the meringue. Run under the broiler until the meringue peaks are delicately browned, taking care not to burn them.
Meringue Topping
Meringue toppings for pies often "weep" or shrink, or turn rubbery. This unconventional method will hold up well and stay light for several days. Be sure to refrigerate a meringue pie if it isn't served within a few hours of making it.
5 egg whites at room temperature 1/2 cup sugar 1/4 tsp. salt
Put the egg whites and sugar in a mixing bowl and place the bowl in a pan of hot water. Stir constantly until the whites feel warm, then add the salt. Remove the bowl from the hot water and beat with an electric beater until the meringue is stiff and shiny. Spread the meringue over a filled and baked pie shell. Be sure the meringue touches the inner edges of the crust; this will keep it from shrinking. It will take only a minute or two to brown under broiler.
I always double this recipe as two 9 inch pies will last only 3 days around here.
