Lemon meringue pie

[goldfish]

i used my kitchenaid for the first time in a while on the weekend while cooking a lot of biscuits and found in most cases it was quicker than the TMX. I've been trying to use my TMX for everything and forgot how easy the kitchen aid is. So much easier to get scrape the mixture without the blades in the way. I still love my TMX but think I will be reverting to the kitchenaid a little more in future.

I think I should follow you, Wonder . . . my DS referred to my KA (sitting not too far from the TMX) the other day as "Mum's museum piece . ."   It does get used . . just not that often . . .

Wiz, for Chookie's Queen of Puddings recipe I do the soft meringue topping in the TMX.  It has only 2 eggs but I don't see why it wouldn't be suitable for this Lemon Meringue Pie and if you need more topping, it would double easily.

Chookie's recipe is 2 egg whites & 30g castor sugar and I do butterfly in/5 mins/37^o/speed 3.  It is only baked for 5 or so minutes to set the egg white and lightly brown the top and is more like what I am used to on a lemon meringue pie.

I just love this recipe!!!! I doubled the filling and for the meringue I add 2 extra egg whites (no extra sugar) and beat them much longer until very thick.  
Thankyou I am addicted and already have been asked twice by friends for the recipe

That's one great meringue topping berringamababe - so many people have trouble making meringue in the TMX but this proves it can be done.

Is this a recipe you could use to make mini lemon meringue pies -    e.g., in muffin tins - what other pastry could you use?

[judydawn]

How about MJ's recipe for pastry shells gf.

GF sorry I've been meaning to put the mini lemon meringue recipe I used on will try  soon just trying to get 5 minutes to do it but this is the pastry I used yesterday
 
1 cup of plain flour
1TBS caster sugar
40grams butter
1 egg
1 TBS water

flour, sugar, butter 10sec speed 6
egg and water knead  10-20 secs
It doesn't come together as such but when you take out about a tablespoon worth and roll it up in your hands it comes together nicely then you push it into your mini muffin tin and cook for 12-15 minutes or until its lightly golden, it makes 12

Suzanne - really appreciate your taking the time to post this.  Seen in other threads you're snowed under timewise right now!  Hope everything settles down soon and you've time to relax with your family . .!
