Light, fluffy and very very Tangy pieLemon meringue is one of my favourite pies, and this one is so easy to make.
Instructions
Sponge
Preheat oven to Gas 4 / 160 fan
Grease and line a round sandwich tin with baking parchment
Break the eggs into a large mixing bowl, then add the caster sugar. Whisk this up for 5 to 6 minutes on full speed until it triples in volume, turns almost white and is very light and fluffy. I find an electric hand whisk does the best job
Sift the flour into a separate bowl, then sift again a little at a time into your egg mixture. Fold in each addition of flour into the mixture with a spatula or wooden spoon, being very careful not to knock air out of your egg mix. Once all the flour is incorporated, spoon into the tin
Bake for 20 minutes until golden on the surface. Leave to cool
Reduce oven to Gas 2 / 130 fan
Filling
Make custard or lemon curd
Spread lemon curd or lemon custard into the recess
