A wonderfully smooth and tangy lemon custard center that’s topped with a fluffy meringue. It’s a beloved classic for a reason! Lemon custards, puddings and pies have been made and enjoyed since the Middle Ages. Meringue came on board some time during the 1600’s and then, in the 1800’s, Swiss baker Alexander Frehse came up with the brilliant idea of combining the two – lemon and meringue – to make this delicious and popular pie! This classic lemon meringue pie features a fluffy meringue topped over a sweet and tangy, creamy lemon custard! If you’ve never made a lemon meringue pie before, or have been intimidated by it, it’s time to pull out your baker’s hat and pleasantly surprise yourself with how uncomplicated it really is! Just whip up those egg whites, plop them on top, and let the oven take care of the rest! Originally published on Daring Gourmet August 16, 2013 Read more about me…
