Cómo preparar Old Fashioned Lemon Meringue Pie
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare your pie crust (using recipe #123758 or a store-bought crust). Press into a 9-inch pie plate.
- Optional: Spread a layer of cream cheese mixture (see ingredient list) evenly across the bottom of the crust.
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together the lemon juice, lemon zest, sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove from heat and whisk in the butter and eggs one at a time, until smooth. Be sure to temper the eggs (slowly add a few spoonfuls of the hot lemon mixture to the eggs, whisking constantly, before adding the eggs to the saucepan).
- Pour the lemon filling into the pie crust. If using, carefully top with meringue (see meringue instructions below).
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. If using meringue, watch closely to prevent over-browning.
- Let cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
- Meringue Instructions (optional): In a large bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add the sugar, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form. Spread meringue over the hot lemon filling, sealing the edges to the crust. Use a kitchen torch to brown the meringue, or bake for an additional 5-7 minutes until lightly browned.
