I've seen are a lot of variations, but a recipe that does not use the lemon peel for me not really a true lemon pie - The further impetus and fresh lemonJuice with some pulp makes this pie truly tart and sweet at the same time, and after some of these big cakes you can see, there's really no problem making fantastic great authentic lemon meringue pie, just like your grandmother baked for special occasions.

Make meringue:
EnsureBowl and beaters are super clean any type of vacuum grease before use. Add the egg whites in a bowl and start hitting. Once the eggs have begun to white and fluffy, mix sugar gradually. Maybe you want to hit slow to medium or medium, so that the egg whites can dissolve the sugar. This is a crucial step that prevents the meringue from 'weeping' in the day as it is always ready to be eaten sitting down. For those of us that the kitchen utensils - note, this processfaster than we can be that this type of mixers are super quick to make. So it is okay to beat more slowly at first, so that sugar is the time to dissolve in the whites had. Continue to beat until smooth and add vanilla extract. To ensure that all the sugar has melted, a little 'fingers and rub them (as if you made a snap) if you have the pieces are sugar, you will need shots until smooth - be careful not to beat your meringue - this is whyproposed strike at an average speed. Once the meringue is shiny and peaks form, your ready to have your cake top.

The real trick to make the sugar has completely dissolved when the mergingue make and complete the filling with the meringue to make sure that she is a "seal"with the meringue. It 'also very easy to have the cake with a knife under hot water to rinse the cut. And let me know and tell me all about the oohs and ahs when you get your friends and the house next to your taste perfectly perfect cake!
