Pattis Lemon Meringue Pie
From sweetnrose 15 years ago
- 20 minutes to make
- Serves 15
When I was little, I would go to my Grandma's house and she'd make me lemon meringue pie. When I got older my sweet sister Merry would often make me a lemon meringe pie also, but she'd increase the recipe and make it in a 9 x 13 pan. Read more I discovered this recipe and tweaked it for a company food fest this year. It turned out so well that I wanted to share it and will definitely make it again. See less
