Instructions:
-
🍳 Place egg yolks in the top of a double boiler; add sugar and salt. Gradually add boiling water, stirring constantly to ensure a smooth mixture.
-
🌊 In a separate bowl, dissolve cornstarch in cold water. Add it along with the cider vinegar to the egg mixture. Keep stirring.
-
🔥 Cook the mixture over boiling water in the double boiler until it thickens and becomes smooth. This process will take approximately 12 minutes, so be patient and enjoy the aromas filling your kitchen.
-
🍋 Once the custard is thick and smooth, remove it from the heat. Add the lemon extract and stir until the filling is impeccably smooth, making sure to scrape the sides of the pan to incorporate all the goodness.
-
🥧 Pour this heavenly filling into a prepared pie shell, spreading it evenly.
-
🌬️ While the filling is still lukewarm, generously top it with meringue, spreading it to the edges and ensuring it seals to the crust. This step adds a delightful layer of sweetness and a beautiful golden finish.
-
🔥 Bake your pie at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 12-15 minutes or until the meringue achieves a lightly browned perfection. Keep an eye on it to capture that ideal balance of flavor and aesthetics.
Tips and Tricks:
- 🥚 For the fluffiest meringue, ensure your egg whites are at room temperature before whipping.
- 🥄 To avoid lumps in your custard, gradually add the boiling water while stirring continuously.
- 🍋 Experiment with different extracts for a personalized touch to your custard flavor.
