Intense cooking process, but worth the effort! It set up nicely and tasted good - just like a lemon meringue pie should.
Eliska, you can make your own crust recipe, or they make refrigerated crust doughs as well. You can usually find those in tubes near the tubes of biscuits and crescent rolls. Most come with 2 sets of dough in case you are making a pie that has a crust on top as well as on bottom. Hope this helps.
I would really like to try this recipe. But I don't really understand how I am supposed to make the crust. Can somebody please help me? Thank you
The reason I tried this recipe was because it didn't have a lot of sugar like most other lemon pies I tried this recipe at least 4 times thinking it was just something I was doing wrong each & every time it would not set up, always runny. I even talked with taste of home specialists & they agreed not enough sugar to the water it calls for. very disappointed. good taste, not too sweet, but just won't set up..
This recipe does NOT call for enough thickener, egg yolks and calls for 1/2 cup too much water...which means it does not thicken properly. What a waste of time!! Now I have to start all over again
This is a really good recipe for sure. I don't like really tart lemon meringue pie's so this is good because it's more tame on the tart. But I would have to say it needs to be bigger because it is not enough filling for a large pie crust. But flavor is yummy for sure.

This is a good pie, I would like to have a more lemoning flavor though and more filling, It seemed as though not enough filling for a deeper pie dish, but overall it was good
