How to Make Kathy's Angel Meringue Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare the meringue: In a large, clean, grease-free bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gradually add sugar, beating until glossy and stiff.
  3. Spread meringue onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, forming a 9-inch circle. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until lightly golden.
  4. Meanwhile, prepare the lemon pudding: Whisk together egg yolks, sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a saucepan. Gradually whisk in lemon juice and milk.
  5. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the pudding thickens and comes to a gentle boil. Remove from heat and stir in butter and lemon zest.
  6. Pour the lemon pudding into the baked meringue shell. Let cool completely.
  7. Once cool, refrigerate for at least 3 hours to allow the pudding to set and the meringue to soften.
  8. Garnish with fresh berries or whipped cream before serving (optional).
