FINALLY! A Lemon Merringue Pie recipe that calls for at least a whole lemon, not that 2 Tbls weakness I always see.

I think we are all smart enough to know....you can put as much meringue or as little meringue as you want. It looks amazing!!! As for me...pile it on...I love it!!!

@flyboy13131 5 жыл бұрын

I think the ratio of filling to meringue is not the best Half of the recipe for meringue would be better Also , all the 8 egg white meringue makes the lemon filling appear a bit skimpy. The pie could use a bit more filling too

@joshuarichards8065 5 жыл бұрын

And considering the thickness of the meringue layer I highly doubt the blowtorch would be enough to pasteurize it all.

@seraeggobutterworth5247 5 жыл бұрын

@Joshua Richards Don’t worry, the torching is only for the sake of caramelization - it adds to the aesthetic and flavor - because the Swiss meringue is already safe to eat before he even puts it on the pie. The process of heating the egg whites over the pot of simmering water, as he’s dissolving the sugar, is actually cooking them enough.

@lostinmyspace4910 5 жыл бұрын

@@joshuarichards8065 Hi Joshua; I think the pasteurizing occurred when he made it Italian style, in that the meringue was already heated over the stove. But he used too many egg whites as a ratio of filling which I don't feel is necessary.

Enjoyed the video. all the best JIM

I like putting a little lemon juice in the meringue, too. It takes very little, but the foam tastes lemony and knocks down a little of the eggy flavor. Alternatively, a little vanilla extract in the meringue is good, too. I dunno what effect lemon juice or vanilla extract would have on weeping. Sometimes mine weeps, sometimes not. I wanna try his tricks.

@lostinmyspace4910 5 жыл бұрын

I wouldn't add the lemon zest until later as it may loose it's intended flavor when added in the beginning. Add it after the curd is complete along with the butter, and lemon juice. The more heat you expose it to, the less flavor. That's what my Blue Ribbon recipe calls for, and I don't waiver from it. Also, my lemon curd is more voluminous, and thicker. I also add the meringue onto a hot filling, and I never refrigerate the pie with lemon curd for several hours before adding the meringue. But look how wonderful the pie turned out, so there's different ways to put it together, but my pie has a lot more curd to it which substantiates the voluminous of the egg whites. I don't torch the meringue, but rather heat it in the oven for simple browning. Be careful not to crack your Pyrex pie plate you took out of the refrigerator if you decide not to use the torch method as it may crack although it shouldn't, but temperature changes may do so.
