So this pie was the most daunting to me when i first started my adventures in baking. Then i tried it by hand... and failed miserably. However, with the addition of a stand mixer or popeye arms there isn't an easier or more delicious thing i can think of. Case in point- i forgot to take a picture when it was fresh and 3 hours later the pie had become a memory.
So from the dark dank cook books of days past i present
Lemon Meringue
Preheat to 325
bake 15
Ingredients
- 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest

Top or the actual Meringue:
- 3 egg whites
- 1/4 teaspoon cream or tartar
- 1/4 cup sugar
In medium bowl, combine milk, lemon juice, and zest; blend in egg yolks. Pour into cooled crust.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
Beat egg whites with cream of tartar until soft peaks from. Gradually beat in the sugar until stiff. Spread over filling; seal to edge of crust. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until meringue is golden brown.
