LEMON MERINGUE PIE<br />
Biscuit Pastry<br />
Ingredients:<br />
90g<br />
¼ cup<br />
butter<br />
sugar<br />
1 egg<br />
1¼ cups plain flour<br />
¼ cup self raising flour<br />
Method:<br />
1. Beat butter until creamy, add sugar, beat until just combined.<br />
2. Add beaten egg gradually, beating well after each addition. (Over creaming at this stage will make pastry<br />
difficult to handle.)<br />
3. Work in 2/3 of the sifted flours with a wooden spoon, then remaining flour with the hand.<br />
4. Turn on to lightly floured board, knead lightly until smooth. (Heavy handling of pastry will toughen it and<br />
make it difficult to roll.)<br />
5. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30min before using.<br />
6. Roll out and line a greased 23cm fluted pie pan with removable bottom with pastry. Refrigerate for<br />
further 30 mins before baking – this helps prevent shrinkage.<br />
7. Bake in NuWave oven for 15min (10cm rack); remove and allow to cool.<br />
Filling<br />
Ingredients:<br />
4 tbsp plain flour<br />
4 tbsp cornflour<br />
2 tsp grated lemon rind<br />
¾ cup lemon juice<br />
1 cup sugar<br />
1¼ cups water<br />
90g butter<br />
4 egg yolks<br />
Method:<br />
1. Combine sifted flours, lemon rind, lemon juice and sugar in saucepan. Add water, blend until<br />
smooth, stir over heat until mixture boils and thickens; this is important, the mixture must boil.<br />
Reduce heat, stir a further 2 mins.<br />
2. Remove from heat, stir in butter and lightly beaten egg-yolks, stir until butter has melted; cool.<br />
3. Spread cold lemon filling evenly into pastry case.<br />
Meringue<br />
Ingredients:<br />
4 egg whites<br />
2 tbsp water<br />
Pinch salt<br />
¾ cup caster sugar<br />
Method:<br />
1. Combine egg-whites, water and salt in small bowl of electric mixer.<br />
2. Beat on high until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar, beat well until sugar has dissolved. (This<br />
will take about 15 mins)<br />
3. Spoon on top of lemon filling spreading meringue to edges of pie to seal; peak meringue decoratively<br />
with knife.<br />
4. Bake in NuWave oven with extender ring fitted, on 5cm rack, level 8, for 15mins or until golden<br />
brown.<br />
Fantastic!!<br />
