Nothing better than the easy lemon meringue pie recipe

BANNOCKBURN, Ill. - May 2, 2014 - PRLog -- Pies are great for any occasion and no matter what time of day it is; whether you’ve just had breakfast or lunch, you can have pie. Just had dinner? Nothing is more perfect than a slice of pie. Midnight snack? Pie, as well.

Making the filling

Once you’ve been to the store and shopped for all your ingredients hand-picked by Michaela Brown herself for the best outcome, and also once you’ve proportioned and organized all your ingredients, then you can start making your lemon filling for this easy lemon meringue pie recipe. Making this pie filling isn’t the same as other pie fillings, this recipe involves bringing your filling ingredients to a boil, of which Michaela Brown will tell you just when to put in a certain ingredient and when you can tell when your filling is just about perfect. Timing is the key for Michaela Brown and she ensures her recipes clearly state such.

Once your filling is perfect, take it off the heat and pour directly onto your pie crusted pie plate and set it aside to make your meringue.

Making the Meringue

This is the tricky part for this easy lemon meringue pie recipe, but with Michaela Brown’s help you can do it perfectly. Meringue seems easy to make but you’ll never know until it’s too late whether or not it was done correctly. An electric mixer would be a great help for this recipe, if you don’t have one then get ready to be stirring constantly for about half an hour at least. In a large bowl, put in egg whites and use the electric mixer to make it foamy, gradually add sugar to the mix, and a pinch of cream of tartar. The cream of tartar is what will make your meringue fluffy, too little and it might seem flat on your pie, too much and your meringue turns sour (literally).

This pie only takes 10 minutes in the oven to bake at 350 degrees until the top of your meringue is golden brown.
