Lemon Meringue Pie With A Twist
From rosemaryblue 17 years ago
- 20 minutes to make
- Serves 8
Delicious lemon meringue with a billowing meringue made with 1-1/2 cups powdered sugar. Using powdered sugar instead of granulated and cooking at a low temperature for a longer time keeps the meringue from weeping.

- Using electric mixer, beat egg whites in large stainless bowl at low speed until foamy
