Lemon Meringue Pie

Oven, in the book's wordsA moderate oven

Ingredients

plain pie crust
meringue

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.

Roll out the pie crust to ¼ inch thickness.
Cover an inverted deep pie plate with the crust and prick it with a fork.
Bake the crust on a baking sheet in a 350°F (175°C) oven until lightly golden.
Remove the crust from the plate and fill it with lemon filling.
Top with meringue and bake for 8 minutes in a 350°F (175°C) oven until the meringue is lightly browned.
