Lemon Meringue
- 1 1/2 cup Tap Water
- 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1/3 cup Cornstarch
- 1/4 ml salt
- 3 tbsp Butter
- 5 Egg yolks
- 1/4 tsp Cream of tartar
- 1/4 tsp Vanilla Essence
- 1 packages Tennis Biscuits
- 50 ml White Sugar
- 4 tbsp Butter
- 5 Egg whites

- Add 4 tablespoons of butter and mix until bonded together.
- Place the mix in a pie tray and press it all down until leveled.
- Put it in your 180 heated oven for about 15 minutes.
- Pour tap water into a pot, add fresh lemon juice, Butter, Salt and Cornstarch.
- Separate eggyolks, set aside the egg white and beat eggyolks until thick.
- Pour them into the water solution and boil at medium temp.
- Keep starring until the mixture is thick.
- Do not leave the port unattended, cornstarch will sink down and form crust at the bottom of the pot, so keep starring.
- Once you are happy with the thickness of the mixture, remove it from the stove and pour it over the pie base
- Beat your eggwhite until thick foam is developed, gradually add suger while beating and then add vanilla essence and continue to beat.
- Once a thick white foam is formed, scoop it over to your meringue and spread it evenly.
- Bake it for 20 minutes or until the foam is golden brown.
- Enjoy!
