RUNNY LEMON MERINGUE PIE RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• To Make Lemon Filling: In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1 cup sugar, flour, cornstarch, and salt. Stir in water, lemon juice and lemon zest. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until mixture comes to a boil. Stir in butter. Place egg yolks in a small bowl and gradually whisk in 1/2 cup of hot sugar mixture. Whisk egg yolk mixture back into remaining sugar mixture. Bring to a boil and continue to cook while stirring constantly until thick. Remove from heat. Pour filling into baked pastry shell.
• To Make Meringue: In a large glass or metal bowl, whip egg whites until foamy. Add sugar gradually, and continue to whip until stiff peaks form. Spread meringue over pie, sealing the edges at the crust.
• Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until meringue is golden brown.

Steps:

• In a saucepan, blend the cornstarch with the water.
• Add the boiling water, and cook, stirring until clear and thickened.
• Let stand until COMPLETELY COLD ( I just put it in the fridge for an hour to speed up the cooling process, but by all means it can sit out at room temperature too).
• With an electric mixer, at high speed, beat the egg whites until foamy.
• Gradually add in the sugar; beat until stiff, but not dry.
• Turn the mixer to low speed; add in the salt and vanilla.
• Gradually beat in the cold cornstarch mixture.
• Turn the mixer onto high again; beat well.
• Spread the meringue over cooled pie filling sealing the meringue to the pie crust.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes, or until the meringue is lightly browned.
