This pie is absolutely delicious! However, my meringue shrunk up even though I was careful to make sure it touched the crust all around. Also, I don't understand why my filling became "watery". Flavor is outstanding!!!!!

This recipe is in the 1950 cookbook. I've been making it for over 60 years. My pie pans are so large, I have to make a recipe and an extra 1/2. When our daughter was in college, this pie won her an A+ on her final foods lab. Since I have farm eggs, I don't use food coloring and for the pie crust I use lard and don't bake it at 475. That's too hot. I comment to Tamleekee, if your pie didn't turn out, it's because you didn't follow the directions explicitly. When the egg yolks go back into the filling, the eggs will break down and get runny if you boil it much longer than 1 minute.

this is an excellent recipe. I have been making it for years, to excellent reviews! I mix the sugar and corn starch first before adding any liquids. The only change I make is to reduce the lemon juice to 1/4 cup.

I love this pie! My mother made it every year for the Thanksgiving and Christmas but instead of meringue she made whipped cream. In her tradition, I top mine with whipped cream as well. It is so easy to make. Try making it the night before to allow enough time to set. If there isn't enough cooling time, opt to allow your guests to top their own pie with the amount of whipped cream desired. For folks who are lactose intolerant, opt for the pie sans whipped cream. Whipped Cream: 1 pint whipped cream (heavy cream if desired) sugar to taste Whip cream and add sugar to your preferred sweetness.

I love this recipe, the pie has turned out great every time I use it! The meringue does take a long time to fluff up, which is why I love my stand up mixer, I can turn it on and let it fluff up while I'm working on the filling. You also have to make sure the meringue is touching the crust on all sides or it will shrink! If your filling isn't setting, make sure you pour the hot mix into your egg yolk mix before mixing it all together. Also make sure you cool your pie for at least 2 hours before putting it in the refrigerator. Hope this helps!

To get the desired meringue, you need to use a high powered mixer, such as a stand up mixer. My first pie I made, the meringue was flat, not fluffy at all, but the reviews were great, the lemon part is just amazing! The 2nd and every other time I've made it, the meringue is beautiful, and the taste is unexplainably delicious! This is by far the best pie I've ever eaten, and honestly, I do not like lemon all that much!!! :) Enjoy!

My lemon pie never set and the meringue on top wasn't as thick as shown here. It was like an island of meringue floating on a sea of lemon.
