Classic Lemon Meringue Pie

A delicious pie, with a generous meringue topping and a good amount of lemon filling. Sweet without being overly sweet, this is an excellent lemon meringue recipe. The homemade crust as written was a bit finicky - you'll need to use a metal pie plate due to the chilling prior to pre-baking. If you're looking for a showstopper lemon meringue pie recipe, this should be the one you choose!

I forgot to add in the butter to the filling… and didn’t add the sugar separately to the topping… I am going to try again!!!

Makes a huge meringue topping! Filling is on the sweet side

Great recipe! The lemon curd was perfectly sour and not too sweet, just the right thickness. The Meringue was light and fluffy but still sturdy. It is a complicated recipe, it is impossible to make an easy lemon meringue pie, they are tricky but this is a great recipe. The only thing I would add is once you have the tempered egg yolk mixture slowly whisked into the lemon mixture you need to stir with a rubber spatula fairly frequently until it has thickened. I think they forgot that instruction. Other than that it's a very easy to follow recipe.
