Lemon meringue pie

Serving size: unspecified
Cooking time: More than 1 hour

It's one of the world's most popular sweet pies, with a tangy filling topped by snowy meringue. Use a knife dipped in warm water to cut the pie — this ensures that the meringue cuts cleanly.

90g butter
4 egg yolks
Meringue
4 egg whites
2 tablespoons water
pinch salt
165g (¾ cup) caster sugar

METHOD

ROYAL KEY LIME PIE

It takes all day to make this pie to perfection -- and is worth every second of work.

Absolutely everything about it is made from scratch. No modern conveniences here.

First thing you do is write a request for a dozen key limes (they are very small) and address the envelope to ANY GROCERY STORE MANAGER IN KEY WEST, FLORIDA.

Also request the recipe from them for the Key Lime Pie. I have never been disappointed in what I received back pretty quickly.

You even make the crust from scratch and the water you add to the flour has to be at the exact temperature called for.

Simply follow to the letter the recipe, and then make an egg marangue to add to the top of the pie.

I guarentee that the greatest lemon marangue pie lovers will never again be satified by it. They will HAVE TO HAVE Key Lime Pie instead. The taste is similar, but sooooooooo much better!

Hope a bunch of you try it.

royalblush, requesting directions to your house ifyou make one!
