This is one of my favourite things to bake for people, because it looks so impressive, it tastes great, and it’s dead simple. And this is coming from someone who doesn’t even like Lemon Meringue Pie!
Ingredients
Base
2tbs butter
¼ cup sugar
1 cup self raising flour
1 egg yolk
Filling
1 tin condensed milk
2 egg yolk
Juice & rind of 2 lemons
Meringue
3 egg whites
½ cup sugar
Method
Mix base ingredients in food processor.
Press into base and wall of pie plate (for presentation purposes, I roughly line the pie plate with baking paper, it means at the end you can lift the whole pie out and it looks fabulous.
Nb: The mixture resembles fine powder at this stage, but keep pressing, it will all work out.
Mix filling ingredients in bowl, pour into base
Beat egg whites until very stiff, stir in sugar. Spread on top of pie.
Bake @ 120° for 1 hour

she LOVED it... i breathed a sigh of relief, cos i really stress out about *cooking for chefs*.
on the topic of Cooking For Chefs, and after doing it three very stressful times, i have a Personal Memo To Self:
the secret is to always cook with wine (and sometimes put it in the dinner) X
