The contrast between their outfits and personalities are so perfect. It feels like two kids who randomly got paired for a school project. One wants to be as productive as possible and the other one wants to immediately start throwing glitter on a poster board. I love it. Please make more episodes with this duo!

If you want to be 100% sure the dough won't get wet from the filling, you can give the dough an egg wash before putting it back into the oven a second time. This will also add more color to the dough, that can otherwise end up looking pale in comparison to the brown meringue.

Lemon meringue pie turned into my quarantine project. I made 35 LMPs in 2021. Great video. FYI - you don't need the plastic wrap - what you do is just shake the custard while it's chilling a few times to smooth it out. I started with plastic wrap but the shake method works just as well.

Quick pro tip if anyone watching wants to make this pie: when making a crust like this, you can actually grate the butter before hand with a cheese grater. This gives you super small pieces and allows you to keep the butter super cold while ingot paying it in your flour. It also just cuts down on time

Question for the internet, with a little bit of lead in: I frequently find that lemon pies/bars/cookies don't really have enough lemony-ness to them for my tastes, so would adding lemon zest kick that up to acceptable levels?
@BenChilds 2 жыл бұрын
Put some lemon extract in your merengue while it's whipping up.
@elijahharris1113 2 жыл бұрын
Lemon zest might work. You can also add some more lemon juice or a little bit of lemon extract.
@kjdude8765 2 жыл бұрын
Lemon zest (or lemon extract) is the trick. Lemon juice itself looses its "lemon-y-ness" when it's cooked.
@JazzIsAwesomeMG 2 жыл бұрын
I personally don't love the taste of citrus juices. I like them fine, but I don't adore them. Citrus zests, on the other hands, have OILS which taste so much better than the juices, in my opinion. So I'm always a fan of adding citrus zest. But if you want the tart lemony-ness, you're probably better off adding more lemon juice.
