ULTIMATE LEMON MERINGUE PIE



Ultimate lemon meringue pie image

You can't go wrong with a classic lemon meringue pie, and this easy recipe is particularly good

Provided by Angela Nilsen

Categories     Buffet, Dessert, Dinner, Treat

Time 3h15m

Number Of Ingredients 14

175g plain flour
100g cold butter, cut in small pieces
1 tbsp icing sugar
1 egg yolk
2 level tbsp cornflour
100g golden caster sugar
2 large lemons, zested
125ml fresh lemon juice (from 2-3 lemons)
1 small orange, juiced
85g butter, cut into pieces
3 egg yolks and 1 whole egg
4 egg whites, room temperature
200g golden caster sugar
2 tsp cornflour

Steps:

  • For the pastry, put the plain flour, butter, icing sugar, egg yolk (save the white for the meringue) and 1 tbsp cold water into a food processor. Pulse until the mix starts to bind - make sure the mix is not overworked.
  • Tip the pastry onto a lightly floured surface, gather together until smooth, then roll out and line a 23 x 2.5cm loose-bottom fluted flan tin. Trim and neaten the edges. Press pastry into the flutes. The pastry is quite rich, so don't worry if it cracks, just press it back together. Prick the base with a fork, line with foil, shiny side down, and chill for 30 mins-1 hr (or overnight).
  • Put a baking sheet in the oven and heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Bake the pastry case 'blind' (filled with dry beans) for 15 mins, then remove the foil and bake a further 5-8 mins until the pastry is pale golden and cooked. Set aside. Can be done a day ahead. Lower the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4.
  • While the pastry bakes, prepare the filling. Mix the cornflour, golden caster sugar and lemon zest in a medium saucepan. Strain and stir in the lemon juice gradually. Make the orange juice up to 200ml with water and strain into the pan. Cook over a medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened and smooth.
  • Once the mixture bubbles, remove from the heat and beat in the butter until melted. Beat the egg yolks (save white for meringue) and the whole egg together, stir into the pan and return to a medium heat. Keep stirring vigorously for a few minutes, until the mixture thickens and plops from the spoon. (It will bubble, but doesn't curdle.) Take off the heat and set aside while you make the meringue.
  • Put the egg whites in a large bowl. Whisk to soft peaks, then add 100g of the golden caster sugar a spoonful at a time, whisking between each addition without overbeating. Whisk in the cornflour, then add the remaining 100g of sugar as before until smooth and thick.
  • Quickly reheat the filling and pour it into the pastry case. Immediately put spoonfuls of meringue around the edge of the filling (if you start in the middle, the meringue may sink), then spread so it just touches the pastry (this will anchor it and help stop it sliding). Pile the rest into the centre, spreading so it touches the surface of the hot filling (and starts to cook), then give it all a swirl.
  • Return to the oven for 18-20 mins until the meringue is crisp and slightly coloured. Let the pie sit in the tin for 30 mins, then remove and leave for at least another 30 mins-1 hr before slicing. Eat the same day.

THE ULTIMATE LEMON MERINGUE PIE



The Ultimate Lemon Meringue Pie image

I made this pie this weekend. It's adapted from The Perfect Recipe cookbook by Pam Anderson. Wow, we agreed it was the best lemon meringue pie recipe we'd ever had. The filling is very lemony sweet/tart and fluffy. The meringue is tall and fluffy/light. Prep times are estimated. It takes a little time, but is well worth it. Lemon meringue pie was first invented in Philadelphia. This recipe represents the Mid-Atlantic U.S. region.

Time 1h40m

Yield 1 pie, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 1/4 cups flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces and frozen
4 tablespoons vegetable shortening, frozen
3 -5 tablespoons ice water, as needed
1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/8 teaspoon salt
6 large egg yolks
1 1/2 cups water
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1/2 cup lemon juice (fresh from 2 - 3 lemons)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/3 cup water
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 cup sugar
4 large egg whites
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Make pie shell: Mix flour, sugar and salt in a food processor, by pulsing a few times.
  • Scatter the frozen butter pieces over flour mixture.
  • Pulse in 1-second pulses about 5 times to mix in butter.
  • Add frozen shortening; pulsing in 1-second pulses until mixture resembles cornmeal with pieces about the size of peas.
  • Slowly add ice water through the processor feed tube, with motor running, one tbsp at a time.
  • When dough forms a ball, stop processing.
  • It should take about 2 or 3 tbsp of ice water to reach this stage.
  • Shape dough into a ball in your flour coated hands, and then flatten into a 4 inch wide disk.
  • Flour disk and wrap in plastic.
  • Refrigerate at least 30 minutes.
  • Generously coat your work surface or pastry sheet with a little flour and about 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs.
  • Place dough on floured surface, coat with some flour and graham cracker crumbs, and roll into a 9-inch disk.
  • Lift, coat surface with more graham and flour, turn dough, add more graham and flour on top, and roll out to a 13 inch disk.
  • Place into a 9 inch pie pan, and finish edges.
  • Refrigerate crust until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Prick dough with a fork to prevent bubbling up in the oven.
  • While the oven is pre-heating to 375, put pie crust in freezer.
  • Bake at 375 for 20- 25 minutes, checking occasionally to make sure it's browning evenly and not bubbling up.
  • Lemon Filling: Whisk sugar, cornstarch, and salt together in a large, nonreactive saucepan.
  • Add egg yolks, then immediately but gradually whisk in 1 1/2 cups water.
  • Bring mixture to a simmer over medium heat, whisking regularly, 8- 10 minutes, until thickened.
  • Remove from heat, whisk in zest, then juice, and finally butter.
  • Keep warm until meringue is made.
  • Meringue topping: Mix cornstarch and 1/3 cup water in a small saucepan.
  • Bring to a simmer, whisking occasionally until thickened.
  • Remove from heat when translucent and thickened.
  • Preheat oven to 325.
  • In a large mixing bowl, mix cream of tartar and sugar together.
  • Beat egg whites with whip attachment of mixer until frothy. Add vanilla.
  • Beat in sugar mixture, 1 tbsp at a time.
  • Then drop in cornstarch mixture, 1 tbsp at a time until stiff peaks form.
  • Pour warm lemon filling into pie crust.
  • Distribute meringue evenly over the top, starting with the edges, and then the middle.
  • Make sure it attaches to the crust.
  • Lifting with the back of the spoon, create peaks in the meringue.
  • Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
  • Cool completely before serving.

ULTIMATE MERINGUE



Ultimate meringue image

Perfect your whisking skills for these light baked meringues - a blank canvas for tasty flavour combinations.

Provided by Angela Nilsen

Categories     Afternoon tea, Dessert, Dinner, Lunch, Treat

Time 2h15m

Number Of Ingredients 3

4 large organic egg whites, at room temperature
115g caster sugar
115g icing sugar

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 110C/ 100C fan/gas ¼.
  • Line 2 baking sheets with non-stick liner or parchment paper (meringue can stick on greaseproof paper and foil).
  • Tip 4 large egg whites into a large clean mixing bowl (not plastic). Beat them on medium speed with an electric hand whisk until the mixture resembles a fluffy cloud and stands up in stiff peaks when the blades are lifted.
  • Now turn the speed up and start to add 115g caster sugar, a dessertspoonful at a time. Continue beating for 3-4 seconds between each addition. It's important to add the sugar slowly at this stage as it helps prevent the meringue from weeping later. However, don't over-beat. When ready, the mixture should be thick and glossy.
  • Sift one third of the 115g icing sugar over the mixture, then gently fold it in with a big metal spoon or rubber spatula. Continue to sift and fold in the remaining icing sugar a third at a time. Again, don't over-mix. The mixture should now look smooth and billowy.
  • Scoop up a heaped dessertspoonful of the mixture. Using another dessertspoon, ease it on to the baking sheet to make an oval shape. Or just drop them in rough rounds, if you prefer.
  • Bake for 1 ½-1 ¾ hours in a fan oven, 1 ¼ hours in a conventional or gas oven, until the meringues sound crisp when tapped underneath and are a pale coffee colour.
  • Leave to cool on the trays or a cooling rack. (The meringues will now keep in an airtight tin for up to 2 weeks, or frozen for a month.) Serve two meringues sandwiched together with a generous dollop of softly whipped double cream.
