Ingredients
 310 Lemon juice
 5 cups Flour
 5 cups Cornstarch
 2 cups Sugar
 250 Water
 100 Butter
 6 Egg
Directions
1

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Bake the dough for 10 minutes in a 23 cm diameter mold, making sure to place parchment paper and dry beans at the bottom of the mold to prevent the dough from rising.

2

Remove the dough from the oven. Take out the dry beans and parchment paper, and put it back in the oven for 10 minutes.

3

Prepare the cream by mixing in a saucepan the flour, cornstarch, 1 cup of sugar, lemon juice, and water. Bring to a boil over low heat. The mixture should thicken. Once done, add the butter and 6 egg yolks. Mix well and set aside.

4

Prepare the meringue by whipping the 6 egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gradually add the last cup of sugar.

5

To finish, increase the oven temperature to 210°C. In the bottom of the pie dish, spread the lemon cream, and top with meringue. Create peaks with a knife. Return to the oven for 5 minutes to brown.

    lemon meringue pie hummm a treat My suggestion: if you don't like desserts that are too sweet, use less sugar in the lemon cream (because of the meringue)

    Super good! I found this recipe very tasty and not too complicated to make! My suggestion: I baked the meringue a little longer so that it would be less soft.
