Lemon Meringue
Pie Recipe
Ever wondered how our Master Bakers achieve that perfect meringue peak? Well here’s the secret: It’s all in the bowl! We only use a glass, copper or stainless steel bowl to whip our egg whites, because plastic can trap oil and fat and prevent the eggs from stiffening.
Ingredients
- 4 egg whites
- 1 cup caster sugar
- Pinch of salt
Method
- Whisk egg whites and salt together with an electric mixer in a glass, stainless steel or copper bowl until it turns opaque and soft peaks form
- Then start slowly pouring in your caster sugar while still whisking
- Once all the sugar is dissolved, continue to whisk on high for at least 3 minutes
- Bake at 150C for 30 minutes and allow to cool in the oven with the door closed
