I'm baffled as to why they had someone who'd never eaten lemon meringue pie troubleshoot a lemon meringue pie recipe.

Intrigued to think about how much has changed over the generations in terms our ingredients. It makes total sense that there would have been smaller lemons a couple of generations ago. They probably had smaller eggs too. I wonder if sweetened condensed milk came in smaller cans or if they changed their product in some way. I have several cookbooks that have really old recipes and I still cook and bake from them occasionally. I’ll be thinking about this the next time I cook or bake from them. Also, like someone else mentioned, there is always a secret ingredient or trick to making things just like mom or grandma made it!

These two are the perfect duo, more of them please tasty‼️❤️

Crazy how the american recipe is different from the french one. In france when we make a lemon meringue recipe, we don’t use condensed milk, we do a mix of lemon juice, egg yolk and cornstarch. We don’t use graham crackers but pie dough. We don’t bake the pie because the lemon filling mix gets « cooked » in the casserole where we mix everything on heat. We just have the use a flame to brown the meringue! So different 😳

"Make it with love." The ultimate go-to for cooking. But, I do think there's more historical data that needs to be discovered about the change in lemons as well as the change in altitudes over the decades because I think those were the biggest issues for its soupiness.

“My mom is the youngest of seven”
“Oh, Clara Davis was busy”
🤣
edit- thank you for all the likes 😭

Watching these two cook together was hilarous!

[foggyfrogg]

I love how Ayo typed up the recipe for Destiny. That was so thoughtful of her 💜

[jisthaloveofmylife]

Grandma Clara Davis would NEVER “ Love it 😊😊❤️

[HarPlayer]

There is always a secret ingredient ( that you don't know about and NEVER WILL )

“my mum was the youngest of 7”
“ooh Clara Davis was busy”🤣🤣🤣 that cracked me up😂

[kateburk]

Cornstarch was a given in my grandmother's recipe...but no sweetened condensed milk.
Love the pucker power of fresh lemon juice.

[hanadul]

Destiny: “LOVE!! IT NEEDS LOVE!!”
Ayo: “I don’t understand why you’re yelling at me.”
😂😂😂

We call it “lemon ice box pie” and I still have the stained notebook paper it was written on from my grandmother. The format, the honesty, the love of this video is felt! DO THIS MORE!! PLEASE!!

Hi, my mother made something exactly like this back in day's in 1980, it called a "Lemon Ice Box Pie" It's so delicious. So glad you helped her to rediscovered what was missing in the recipe. Your grandmother would be proud of you.❤

That was painful to watch. There were too many problems to count. Her grandma DEFINITELY left out a few steps and ingredients. Wish I could share my Mom's recipe but I am sworn to secrecy. 😄😄😄 The recipe in Joy of Cooking is a pretty good place to start though.
