Double Crust Lemon Pie
I use the recipe for the crust that I posted already.
Filling:
1 1/4 cups sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 cup cold water
1 1/4 cups boiling water
2 Tblsp. margarine
Zest of 1 lemon
1/3 cup lemon juice
2 eggs
2 Tblsp. milk
3 Tblsp. sugar
In a medium saucepan, throughly combine the 1 1/4 cups sugar and the cornstarch. Gradually blen in the cold water. Add boiling water and cook, stirring constantly, over medium-low heat, until mixture thickens and comes to a boil. Boil for 2 minutes; remove from heat. Stir in the margarine, zest, and lemon juice. Beat the eggs, while beating, add a little of the hot mixture to temper. Blend the egg mixture into the hot mixture throughly. Cool, to room temperature. Line a 9-inch pie pan with a rolled crust, leave edges hang over. Pour filling into unbaked shell. Roll out a crust to fit the top with the edges hangging over. Trim the edges and crimp together. Spread the milk on top of the crust, and sprinkle with the remaining sugar. Make slits in the top of the crust, to vent. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden. Cool, and chill in refrigerator for 1 hour at least.
Lemon Meringue Pie
1 baked pie shell
1 1/4 cups sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
2 cups cold water
3 eggs, seperated
2 Tblsp. margarine
Zest of 1 lemon
1/3 cup lemon juice
In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar and cornstarch. Gradually add the water, and stir until throughly blended. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly until mixture thicikens and boils. Remove from heat and beat a little of the hot mixture into the egg yolks, to temper. Return the egg mixture to the hot mixture. Return to heat and bring to a boil, cook, stirring constantly for 3 minutes. Remove from heat and add margarine, zest and juice. Pour filling into baked pie shell. Cool, cover with wax paper and chill for at least 1 hour. Make Meringue.
Meringue
Beat the 3 egg whiltes with 1 tsp. creme of tartar, on medium speed until soft peeks form. Add 1/4 cup to 1/3 cup, powdered sugar, and beat on high speed until stiff but not dry. Spread on top of chilled pie. Put pie under broiler to golden. Watch it carefully, it browns fast.
I like the double crust lemon pie because I am not crazy about meringue on pie. I make the meringue with the powdered sugar because it doesn't sweat on top of the pie as much.
