Directions
Old Fashioned Lemon Meringue Pie, This is my mother’s recipe, and one thing my mother does better than anyone I know, is making pie You can serve it w/o the meringue which is what I do as I’m not fond of it I like variety so I like to put a cream cheese layer on the bottom sometimes and then the lemon over the top (since I don’t use the meringue) This makes enough for 2-3 pies, depending on how full and tall you like them, however you can 1/2 the recipe Also use Recipe #123758 for the crust when I’m not being lazy (for that use a Nilla wafer or shortbread crust) , Lemon pie perfection! Thanks!, Even though I really liked this pie and would have given it 5 stars I got mixed reviews from my guest Some thought it was to tart others not tart enough I didn’t use all of the meringue because I usually don’t put alot on top of my pie and it made alot Thanks homegirl Bullwinkle
