Ingredients

- For the lemon curd:

4 egg yolks

150g of caster sugar

2 tablespoons of cornflour

1 cup of water

Juice of two lemons

Zest of one lemon

A knob of butter

A pinch of salt

- For the meringue:

4 egg whites

150g of caster sugar

1 tablespoon of cornflour

1/3 of a cup of water (hot)

1/2 teaspoon of cream of tartar

- A 9 inch pie crust (ready made, or make one yourself)

Directions

Firstly, make the lemon curd. Mix together the sugar, cornflour, salt and egg in a pan. Over a medium heat, gradually whisk in the water and stir until the mixture has thickened.

Add the lemon juice, zest, and the knob of butter.

Next, make the meringue: Whisk the cornflour with hot water until it thickens. Leave to cool.

In a food mixer (if you have one), beat the egg whites. Add the sugar and cream of tartar a tablespoon at a time.

Slowly add the water and cornflour mix to the egg and sugar, and beat until the mixture forms soft peaks and is thick and glossy. It should stay in the bowl when upturned.

Spread the lemon curd across the bottom of the pastry case.

Spread the meringue over the top with a spatula, making sure it goes right to the edges. Make peaks by flicking it upwards in places.

Bake in the oven at 160ºC for 20-30 minutes until the meringue has browned off on top.

Leave to cool for two or three hours before eating.
