Lemon Meringue Pie

Oven, in the book's wordsA moderate oven

Ingredients

Directions

The book says “a moderate oven”. The 350°F (175°C) in the steps is the modern equivalent, not the book's own figure.

  1. Roll the plain paste to ¼ inch thick.

  2. Cover an inverted deep pie plate with the paste and prick it with a fork.

  3. Bake the crust on a tin sheet in a 350°F (175°C) oven until golden.

  4. Remove the crust from the plate, fill it with lemon filling, and cover the top with meringue.

  5. Bake the meringue for 8 minutes in a 350°F (175°C) oven.
