Lemon Meringue Pie
Base
1 packet of White Wings biscuit base - Make up as directed on packet
Filling
3 eggs
1 can condensed milk
1/2 cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons caster sugar
- Preheat the oven to 180°C or 160°C for fan forced
- Make up biscuit base and put into a 23cm pie dish. Place in oven while you make the filling.
- Squeeze the juice from the lemon into a cup. Separate the eggs, putting the yolks into a medium sized bowl and the whites in a large bowl. Beat the egg yolks until a thick lemon colour. Fold in the condensed milk and lemon juice and beat together.
- Pour mixture over the biscuit base. Place in the oven while you make the meringue.
- Beat the egg whites until white and fluffy. Add the sugar bit by bit, whisking well every time you add the sugar. The whites will form stiff, glossy peaks.
- Spread the meringue over the filling. Return the pie to a cool oven about 140°C or 120°C for fan forced and bake for about 20-25 minutes, until the top is golden. Cool, and then serve.
