Como fazer Perfect Lemon Meringue Pie
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1 ¼ cups sugar, cornstarch, and salt.
- Gradually whisk in water until smooth.
- Bring mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 1 minute, or until thickened.
- Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice, lemon zest, and butter until butter is melted and mixture is smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole eggs one at a time, then slowly whisk a portion of the hot lemon mixture into the eggs to temper them. Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan and stir constantly for 1-2 minutes, until slightly thickened.
- Pour lemon filling into the prepared pie crust.
- In a clean, grease-free bowl, beat egg whites with cream of tartar until soft peaks form.
- Gradually add the remaining ½ cup sugar, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
- Spread meringue over the lemon filling, sealing the edges to the crust.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the meringue is golden brown and the filling is set.
- Let cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
