Cómo preparar Lemon Meringue Pie 9 Inch
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake pie shell according to package directions or your preferred recipe. Let cool.
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1 cup sugar and 1/4 cup cornstarch.
- Gradually whisk in 1 cup water until smooth.
- Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens and boils.
- Boil for 1 minute, continuing to whisk.
- Temper the egg yolks: Gradually whisk at least half of the hot mixture into the 4 egg yolks. This prevents the yolks from scrambling.
- Pour the tempered egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining hot mixture.
- Cook for 2 minutes, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens further.
- Remove from heat.
- Stir in 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, 1/2 cup lemon juice, and a few drops of yellow food coloring (if using) until smooth and well combined.
- Pour the lemon filling into the cooled pie crust.
- **Make the Meringue:** In a clean, grease-free bowl, beat 4 egg whites with 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar until foamy.
- Gradually add 6 tablespoons of sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form. Do not underbeat.
- Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Mound the meringue onto the hot lemon filling, sealing the edges to the crust to prevent shrinkage.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the meringue is lightly golden brown.
- Cool completely on a wire rack away from drafts before serving.
