Ingredients
- Pastry
- 2 cups plain flour
- ¼ cup icing sugar
- 150g butter chopped
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 tbsp. water
- ½ teaspoon vanilla essence
- Filling
- 2 lemons
- ¾ cup caster sugar
- ½ cup cornflour
- Cup water
- 3 egg yolks
- Meringue
- 3 egg whites
- 1/3 cup caster sugar
Directions
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees.
- Sift icing sugar and flour together.
- Add butter- rub in with your fingers till the mixture resembles fine bread crumbs
- Add yolk, water and vanilla. Mix lightly. Pastry should form a ball
- Wrap in plastic wrap. Rest in the fridge for at least 20 minutes
- Roll out pastry on a lightly floured surface, to fit a 25cm flan tin. Ease pastry into tin, then trim edges.
- Blind bake for 10 – 15 mins in a 200 degree oven.
- Allow pastry to cool
- Turn oven down to 180 degrees
- Finely grate the rind of 1 lemon. Juice lemons- you need ½ cup. Combine the sugar and cornflour in a medium saucepan and gradually stir in the lemon juice and water until smooth.
- Whisk over medium heat until the mixture boils and thickens. Remove from the heat, stir in the lemon rind and egg yolks, and mix quickly to combine.
- Allow to cool.
- To make the meringue, use clean and dry electric beaters to whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form.
- Add the sugar a spoonful at a time, whisking each addition till glossy.
- Spread the lemon base in the pie base, the top with meringue.
- Bake for 10 mins or until brown.
- Set aside for at least 30 minutes to cool.
- Refrigerate when cool

Looks good and easy. I don't like meringue so I am going to skip that part! I think it takes away from the fab lemon taste! (Maybe I'll make a thin layer...) I added this recipe to the Lemon Lover's group. It belongs there--->
