Lemon meringue pie for supper
Filed under: Uncategorized
Leave the lemon meringue pie to set in the fridge for at least 3 hours...we shall see!!
I am a big fan of the blog My Castle In Spain and after seeing her mini lemon meringue pies that she made for supper with friends on her roof terrace I quite fancied trying to make a pie myself. The boys in the house love anything lemony, the girls like meringue so it seemed a good idea.
I wrote out one recipe that I found on the internet and after filling 2 sides of paper I gave up. I thought if ever I get to the end of this and actually make this recipe I’m more likely to throw the pie at someone than actually eat it. Eventually found a recipe that looked a little easier…but still, lemon meringue pie is a bit of a fiddle to make unless you can buy one of those already made sweet pastry cases. Marks and Spencers do mini ones in La Canada but I haven’t seen anywhere else that sells them….so I made my pastry from scratch with the help of my wizard blender.
I’m very hot and sweaty but quite proud. My pie looks great, even if it tastes YUK!
It is now I hope to God setting in the fridge. I’ve read that I should leave it around 3 hours. I’m not sure I can wait that long to cut inside it but I’ll try since I’ve taken most of the afternoon trying to make it.
I’ve called the children down and told them to “ooooh” louder. If this works I swear to God any of you can make this as a chef I am not……I don’t even read instructions properly. My last cake killed the sparrows, as they haven’t been seen since.
I’ll let you know if it is good or not…..

Love the look of your pie, it even looks nicer than Lala’s (My Castle in Spain). What time is tea served at your house – Marbella is a lot closer than Granada! Just kidding I am off the Iceland to see if Weight Watchers do a slimline version.
Tell me what you're thinking...
