Has anyone made lemon meringue pie? Question

Posted: Nov 30, 2009

I've been watching videos and reading recipes about how to make a lemon meringue pie. Question I have is the video I saw did the lemon part first and put it into the pie shell then did the meringe part after that. She said if you put the meringue on the pie filling while it is still hot it seels it, and the steam from the lemon cooks the meringue better. My question....Can you make the meringue first and let it sit while you make the lemon part then put it on the pie.

My grandfather was a cook in the Navy and growing up I remember how scrumptious his lemon meringue pies were and I'd like to try it myself. Thanks for any answers.

I make lemon meringue pie a lot, however the filling I make does not need to be cooked first. I'll share my recipe with you, it's very simple;

1 graham cracker crust pie shell
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup lemon juice (or to taste)
2 egg yolks at room temperature (save whites for meringue)

Whisk together milk, lemon juice, and eggs. Pour into pie shell.

Using 2 eggwhites, make meringue...To make my meringue, I beat the eggwhites til frothy, then add a pinch of salt, a pinch of cream of tartar, and a few spoons of sugar. Spread over pie filling and bake at 350 preheated oven until meringue begins to brown...watch carefully!

I always taste test my meringue to make sure it's sweet enough. I also taste my lemon pie filling to make sure it's lemony enough, but don't add much more than 1/2 cup lemon juice or the filling will be runny.

Hope this helps and good luck!

Yum - thanks for the recipe - bad cook (but getting better)

No more responses needed but thanks - bad cook (but getting better)

DH just told me he can't stand lemon meringue and he wants to gag thinking about it. LOL So I'm not going to make a whole pie for me. HA HA

But thanks for any comments.

I offered to make a lemon sponge pie to take to Thanksgiving dinner at my sister's. I have never made one before, but have seen several recipies on line. I saw one that was an old Amish recipe. The only difference really was that you add hot milk instead of cold. Anyone out there good at making lemon sponge pie? I would appreciate any recipes and/or tips. I used to always bring the mashed potatoes, but the last few holidays I brought a desse ...

Okay, just made a lemon bread. It is moist but not as lemony as I would like. Safeway makes a good lemony cake (or bread) thing. So moist and lemony and I'd like to make something similar. This recipe I just made called for 3/4 c. lemon yogurt and 1 tablepoon lemon rind. It is moist but not a real lemon flavor (faint lemon flavor). I tried another recipe using a lemon cake and added a box of lemon pudding. Again, most but not real lemony. ...

Since my MT'ing salary has taken such a hit these days, I had to laugh the other day when I was watching "Intervention." The interventionist stated that people were lined up outside of drug rehab clinics offering to sell clean urine samples to the addicts. They were getting $25 per sample. I quickly realized that I would be paid well based on production! lol Of course I wouldn't seriously consider doing this, but it made me laugh. Also, ...

Went in to the store to browse and saw the cutest 4th of July apron. It was royal blue and had "Made in the U.S.A" in a cute print on the front. I thought how cute would that look on the cook who is barbequeing on the 4th?!Yep,you guessed it. The tag said, "Made in China."I was so ticked! MOST of the inventory in US stores is foreign made. Even the Christmas stuff. I am very aware and try as much as possible to "BUY AMERICAN". Since that was going to be an impulse buy, of course I did not p ...

Another poster and I were talking a couple of threads down about how the country needs to educate themselves about how congress works (or should work, I guess I should say).

The first two are from 2007 and 2003 respectively, but I couldn't find anything more recent (if anyone finds someth ...

Minored in political science, so you can believe this: Fascism is NOT and never has been a conservative philosophy. It is a philosophy from which LIBERALISM is directly descended. Fascism exalts the value of the COLLECTIVE ("society") over the value of the INDIVIDUAL, and this is directly in line with liberal values, not conservative. I'm sorry, liberals, but it's true: Hitler was a leftist. Musolini was a leftist. By NO MEANS did either of them espouse ...

so vociferously defended this bill as a budget measure and denied union busting. Fitz got a little cocky (as the cons have a tendency to do) and admitted Walkers and his intent was to defund unions in an effort to undermine the 2012 presidential election in a Fox interview with Megyn Kelly. Guess they have figured out there is no way they could ever win an election based on the merits of their agendas. Not only was this not about the budget, but it was not even about Wisco ...
