the lemon meringue pie for pi day

the lemon meringue pie for pi day

For Pi Day yesterday, Mare made her first lemon meringue pie from scratch. The pie consists of three parts: the crust, the lemon filling, and the meringue.

The recipes came from Allrecipes.com: Pie Crust IV & Grandma’s Lemon Meringue Pie.

The pie came out good overall. The lemon filling had a good consistency with the perfect combination of tart and sweet. However, the meringue was a little weepy which is a common mistake for amateur pie bakers. Check out Allrecipes.com’s article on Perfect Meringues under Common Problems.

Mare plans on perfecting her meringue. That means meringue cookies + Baked Alaska for me in the near future. =D
