Cómo preparar Mom's Lemon Meringue Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. **Make the Filling:**
  3. Separate 3 large eggs; discard one yolk (save for another use!). Set aside the 3 egg whites.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the two egg yolks, 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice, 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk, and 1 tablespoon grated lemon zest until well combined.
  5. Place a 9-inch graham cracker crust in the preheated oven for 5 minutes to lightly bake.
  6. Remove crust from oven and pour the lemon filling into the crust.
  7. **Make the Meringue:**
  8. In a clean, grease-free mixing bowl, beat the 3 egg whites with 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar until soft peaks form.
  9. Gradually add 6 tablespoons granulated sugar, beating at high speed until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  10. Spread the meringue evenly over the lemon filling, sealing the edges to the crust to prevent shrinkage.
  11. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the meringue is lightly browned and firm to the touch.
  12. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before refrigerating for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to develop.
  13. Serve chilled and enjoy!
