"As Easy as Pie"
I never quite understood this saying until recently when I attempted my first lemon meringue pie. It really was one of the simplest treats I have ever baked. This effortless tart requires minimal ingredients and is just simply delicious! 
This recipe just has to be shared:
Ingredients:
- 1 Packet Tennis Biscuits (crushed)
- 2-3 Tbsp Margarine (melted)
- 1 Tin Condensed Milk
- 1/2 Cup of Lemon Juice
- 1/2 Cup of Castor Sugar
- 3 Eggs
Method:
- Preheat the oven to 180 C
- Crush the biscuits and melt the margarine
- Mix the tennis biscuits and margarine together and press down into a greased pie plate
- Place it into the oven for a few minutes to toast the base
- Mix the condensed milk, lemon juice and egg yolks together
- Pour the mixture into the pie shell
- Stiffly whick the egg whites and gradually add the castor sugar slowly as you are whisking the egg whites
- Spread the meringue mixture over the condensed milk filling and form into peaks
- Bake at 180 C until nice and golden brown (20-30 minutes)
It's as simple as that! The perfect tea time treat!
Happy Baking!
