The three things that will be made to make this pie are pie crust, meringue, and filling.
The tricky part would be making the meringue and the filling. Here’s a quick tip, some recipe makes meringue by boiling sugar and water at the right boiling point. After it reached the perfect boiling point, it is mixed with beaten egg whites. As for this video, the key to make the perfect meringue is to gradually add sugar while mixing the egg whites until it is stiff.
When making the filling, it is important to gradually stir the ingredients until each of them are smooth to make the filling granule-free. Make sure to keep an eye when cooking the mixture because it will boil and thickens quickly.
As the finishing touch, this lemon meringue pie could be caramelized with a help of a culinary torch or broiler. But in case you don’t have any, you can use your oven instead to caramelize.

Just like mousse, meringue is also originated from France. These two are both made of egg whites. Meringue is lightly baked so that the surface would be crisp but soft inside.
Lemon flavoured custards, puddings and pies have been enjoyed since Mediaeval times, but meringue was perfected in the 17th century. Lemon meringue pie, as it is known today, is a 19th-century product. The earliest recorded recipe was attributed to Alexander Frehse, a Swiss baker from Romandie. There is some evidence to suggest that the botanist Emile Campbell-Browne (1830-1925) had a very similar recipe concocted by his cooking staff in Wigbeth Dorset in 1875 and served to Anthony Ashley Cooper, 7th Earl of Shaftesbury at a hunting ball, in Wimborne St Giles, Dorset (from Wikipedia).
Serve this classic Mediaeval-dessert on special events and spread the joy!
