Lemon Meringue Pie

For the pie dough:Mix flour, salt and sugar. Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add to the flour mixture. Knead quickly and add the ice water at the end to make a smooth, supple dough. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

WARNING: Do not mix or knead the dough for too long! The butter flakes should still remain. This will make the dough crispier when baked.

For the pie filling:Mix egg yolks, lemon zest, lemon juice and sugar in a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Stir constantly (!!!) so the mixture doesn’t burn. Cook until the mixture thickens and bubbles form around the edges. Then stir in the butter one piece at a time until it has completely melted.

Press the rested dough into a large pie pan (about 1-1.5 cm thick) and blind bake in the oven for 20 minutes until it turns a light golden color. To blind bake, weigh down the dough with beans or blind bake balls, removing them after baking.

In the cooled dough base, pour the cooled lemon mixture so that the pan is filled about halfway up. Cover with cling film and leave to cool in the refrigerator for an hour. Just before serving, make a meringue topping.

To make the meringue topping:Whisk all ingredients in a mixer until stiff peaks form.

To finish the Lemon Meringue Pie remove the pie from the refrigerator, remove the plastic wrap en
