Lemon Meringue Pie - a Traditional Favourite


Who doesn't love pie? 

Everyone has their favourite; apple, pecan, cherry, chocolate, blueberry, key lime...But if there is one that is the most famous and loved by everyone that should be the Lemon Meringue.

 

A simple treat made with a crust (shortbread or shortcrust), covered with a tangy lemon curd and topped by a fluffy meringue, or an italian meringue as we do at home! 
Once the meringue is piled over the pie it's baked in the oven until golden brown. However at home we prefer a flambe torch and grate some zest over it.


This classic never gets old and it's great for dessert, tea, or why not, breakfast! There should never be an excuse to eat this delicious pie!

The recipe? Well it's easy peasy, try this one!

Enjoy!
