🕰️ A Little History
Lemon Meringue Pie became popular in the 19th century when lemon custards and meringue toppings were combined into one show-stopping dessert. The contrast between zesty citrus, silky filling, and airy meringue quickly made it a favorite for celebrations, Sunday dinners, and special occasions. It’s a timeless classic that continues to win hearts around the world.
🧈 Ingredients
For the Filling: • 1 baked pie crust (standard size) • 1½ cups water • 1 cup white sugar • 4 large eggs, separated • 1/4 cup cornstarch • 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice • 1 tablespoon lemon zest • 2 tablespoons butter
For the Meringue: • 4 egg whites • 1/2 cup white sugar • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar (optional but recommended)
👩🍳 Instructions
Lemon Filling
In a saucepan, whisk together sugar and cornstarch.
Gradually stir in water until smooth.

Beat egg yolks in a bowl, then slowly whisk in some of the hot mixture.
Return everything to the saucepan and cook 2 more minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice, zest, and butter.

Meringue
Beat egg whites with cream of tartar until soft peaks form.

Spread meringue over hot filling, sealing edges to the crust.

Bake pie for 10–12 minutes, until meringue is lightly golden.
