Method

  1. 1

    First, prepare the filling. Measure the ingredients, except for the butter, into a saucepan and heat while stirring. When the mixture bubbles, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the butter. Allow to cool.

  2. 2

    Prepare the crust: Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg. Add the combined dry ingredients through a sieve while mixing. Press the dough into a greased (Ø 28 cm) pie dish.

  3. 3

    Bake at 200 degrees for 10 min. Add the lemon filling and bake for another 10 min.

  4. 4

    Whip the egg whites with the sugar into a stiff foam. Spread the meringue fluffily on top of the pie. Bake for about another 8 min, until the meringue has a beautiful light brown color.
