LEMON MERINGUE PIE

Printed from COOKS.COM

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Have Ready:

1 pre-baked prepared or home-made pie crust shell

Preheat oven to 300°F.

Filling:

7 tablespoons cornstarch

1 tablespoon flour

1 3/4 cups granulated sugar

2 cups water, boiling

4 egg yolks, beaten

grated rind of two lemons

1 tablespoon butter

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup unstrained lemon juice

Sift together cornstarch, flour, and sugar. Whisk in boiling water, continuing to stir until mixture becomes smooth.

Cook the mixture in top of a double boiler for five minutes. Be sure the water in the double boiler is simmering before the five-minute count begins.

Meanwhile, beat four egg yolks. Stir several tablespoons of the hot mixture into the beaten egg yolks (to temper), then slowly combine the egg yolks entirely with the remaining hot mixture. Stir in grated lemon rind, butter, salt, and lemon juice.

Stir constantly, continuing to cook until the egg yolks become smooth and thick.

Pour the filling into the baked pie shell. Cover with meringue (see below) while still warm, but not hot.

Meringue:

5 egg whites, stiffly beaten

1/4 teaspoon salt, scant

9 tablespoons granulated sugar

1/4 teaspoon lemon juice

Place salt and lemon juice in bowl and beat egg whites until stiff, but not separating. While beating, gradually add sugar.

Spread meringue on top of lemon filling.

Bake pie at 300°F until the meringue takes on a delicately golden color with lightly browned tops. Allow to cool before serving. Garnish with thinly sliced rounds of lemon dipped into coarse sugar or a fresh sprig of mint.

Single-crust Pie Turned Upside Down

Single-crust Apple Pie

Makes one 10" pie

Crust:

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 tsp. salt

2-4 tbs. cold water

1/3 cup shortening

Sift together flour and salt. Cut in shortening with pastry blender or two table knives until pieces are the size of small peas. Sprinkle 1 tbs. water over part of mixture. Gently toss with fork and push to side of bowl. Sprinkle next tbs. of water over dry part. Mix lightly and push to moistened part at side. Repeat until all is moist. Form into ball.

Flatten ball slightly and roll 1/8" thick on lightly floured surface.

Always use a light touch and handle dough as little as possible.

Apple Filling:

7 cups sliced pared apples

1/2 to 3/4 cup sugar, depending on sweetness of apples

dash of salt

1 tsp. cinnamon

1/2 tsp. powdered vanilla

1/4 tsp. nutmeg, optional

1-1/2 tbs. butter

Preheat oven to 375F.

Combine sugar, salt, cinnamon, vanilla, and nutmeg, if desired. Stir to blend. Layer apples in 10" pie pan and sprinkle with sugar mixture. Dot with butter and place crust over pie. Trim crust and flute edge, tucking it slightly against the inside edge of pie pan to seal. Cut slits in top.

If you like, beat an egg with 1 tbs. water and brush lightly over crust. Sprinkle with sugar. This will give a pretty finish to the crust but is not required.

Bake in preheated oven 45 minutes or until crust is golden brown.
