Lemon Meringue Pie Recipe
pie filling ingredients:
9" Deep Dish Pie Crust
1 cup SUGAR
½ cup CORN STARCH
¼ tsp SALT
2¼ cup WATER
1 Tbsp LEMON ZEST
4 EGG YOLKS
3 Tbsp BUTTER
½ cup LEMON JUICE
meringue ingredients:
2 Tbsp SUGAR
1 Tbsp CORNSTARCH
½ cup WATER
4 EGG WHITES
1 tsp VANILLA
pinch of SALT
then another 4 Tbsp Sugar

Make your own pie crust from scratch, or to make the recipe super easy, just bake up a pre-made frozen pie crust.
Firstly, bake the crust and have it cooled and ready before beginning to make the pie filling.
Then break 4 eggs and separate the yolks from the whites in two separate bowls.
Zest two lemons, and then squeeze the juice to fill ½ cup.

To make the lemon pie filling:
In a saucepan, add the sugar, cornstarch, salt, and zest of two large lemons.
On medium heat, stir water into the saucepan and continue stirring the pan 15-20 minutes, or until the mixture thickens and begins two bubble.
Slowly spoon 5-6 Tbsp of the heated, thickened mixture in with the eggs yolks, stirring constantly so as not to cook the eggs.
Then stir the egg yolk mixture into the saucepan with the rest of the heated filling.
Stir in the lemon juice and butter and continue stirring until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth.
Pour the filling into the pre-baked pie shell and set aside to cool.

To make the Meringue:
In a small saucepan add 1 Tbsp of cornstarch, 2 Tbsp sugar, and ½ cup water.
Mix the three ingredients well and on the stovetop heat over medium heat, stirring until the mixture thickens and clears slightly.
Set saucepan aside to cool.
In a mixing bowl, beat the egg whites until frothy.
Add in vanilla and a pinch of salt and beat again to mix.
Gradually beat in 4 Tbsp of sugar, 1 Tbsp at a time.
Then beat in the cooled cornstarch mixture.
Continue beating until stiff peaks form.

To finish the Pie:
Take a spatula and spread the meringue evenly over the pie filling.
Lightly chop the top of the meringue to form peaks on top of the pie.
Slide the pie into an oven preheated to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and bake meringue for 10-12 minutes,
or until the top of the top of the meringue sets and shows a nice color.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow to cool completely before slicing.
When cooled, store pie in the refrigerator beneath a pie dome, do not wrap meringue in plastic wrap or foil.

The confidence you see when someone knows what they are doing. She did a great job teaching how to make the pie. Some people can cook but can’t teach. She was able to do both. Thank you.

Lovely grandmother making a delicious lemon pie!
Grandmothers are very important in our lives!🌹

I just made this pie it is amazing! I told my mom I would make lemon meringue pie. She nicely tried to discourage me (as it is a family favorite and she didn't want me to mess it up). I looked at this video first then a few others. I came back to this recipe because it just felt right. And boy was it ever. It is perfect. Thank you for sharing Meemaw

Her meringue recipe is the best one I've used so far. A real "no-fail" recipe. Good job!

Dear chef, your mom is an absolute delight! I love her style; straight to the point and no unnecessary pauses. But you, sir are such a momma’s boy! I loved the video!! I will make this during the week. Thank you to your beautiful mom 😘

My neighbor brings me a big bag of lemons from his tree every year and in return I make him a lemon pie...I came looking for the perfect recipe and this is it! Thank you!

[MarlasanLovesCake]

I followed this recipe by the letter and the pie was an absolute hit at dinner! Best lemon meringue pie I have EVER had!

[lauraking]

She knows she can make a good pie but I love how humble she is about it

[skywalker]

This video is just too cute. Letting the mom do her own recipe on video and in a down to earth, relatable way. Also, funny that I happen to have the exact same dishware (dinner and saucer plates) that's in the video, too!

[SFVGIRL]

Still the only way I'll make a meringue pie. Grandma really did us a solid for sharing her recipe. Thanks to you, Buck. 😇

[donnamarlow]

I just made this pie and followed the recipe to a "T". Watched the video 3 times. My pie turned out awesome!!! Thanks for sharing.

Hahaha! "Looks like some kind of medieval torture device", Granny replies in a sweet voice, "It could be, if you use it right."

[theresaruble]

I love how she stammers as she admits it’s good. Sometimes it’s so hard for the best cooks to admit a dish is fantastic!! Mama Buck 🤗❤️

[Mike]

Grandma, every body praised your confidence in cooking. But what I liked the most in you is hour voice and your heart ❤️ that is so relaxing and kind. My God bless you
