Cookery<br />

Lemon Meringue Pie<br />
Back in the 1970’s, entertaining friends <strong>and</strong> family at home<br />
had become very popular, as people became more affluent. I<br />
ate enough prawn cocktails, beef Wellington <strong>and</strong> tiramisu at<br />
evening dinner parties to last a lifetime.<br />
One of the favourite desserts, which was not expensive to<br />
make, was Lemon Meringue Pie. This recipe comes from the<br />
“Stork” (margarine) Cookery Book, published in 1954, which<br />
had seen me through the Sixties <strong>and</strong> is with me to this day.<br />
Over the years, all my favourite T.V. cooks have come up with<br />
their own versions. I always give them a try, but inevitably<br />
resort back to this basic one, which is as good as it gets.<br />
You can vary the quantity of lemon juice to taste.<br />
METHOD.<br />
1. Make a flan case with shortcrust pastry (6 ozs. flour + 3 ozs.<br />
margarine) or use a bought one.<br />
2. Separate 2 eggs. Beat together the egg yokes, 2 heaped<br />
tbsps. sugar + 1 oz. flour.<br />
3. Bring to the boil 1/4 pint + 5 tbspns. water + 1 oz. margarine.<br />
4. Remove from heat, add egg mixture <strong>and</strong> stir to smooth.<br />
5. Return to low heat <strong>and</strong> cook till thick. (about 3 minutes)<br />
6. Remove from heat <strong>and</strong> stir in the finely grated rind + juice of<br />
1 large lemon.<br />
7. Pour into flan case <strong>and</strong> spread evenly.<br />
8. Whisk the 2 egg whites until stiff then gradually beat in 3<br />
heaped tbspns. castor sugar till very stiff.<br />
9. Pile meringue over filling, making little peaks <strong>and</strong> ensuring it<br />
covers over the edge of the pastry case.<br />
10. Cook at 150 degrees centigrade for about 30 minutes until<br />
the meringue begins to colour. Allow to cool before serving.<br />
11. If you want to eat the pie hot, cook at 200 degrees<br />
centigrade for 10 minutes <strong>and</strong> serve immediately.<br />
