Lemon Meringue pie in EDC

[~ - Jules - ~]

I posted a short crust pastry recipe that I use on my lemon meringue pie  http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=3809.0  I find it tastes good (but I make it gluten free but the original recipe is "normal" so should work just as well if not better with normal flours)

Other than the cream of tartar error in the EDC, this recipe is perfect. Nom.

Wow yours look sooooooooooooo much better than mine did. I wonder where I went wrong?

I made this today, and it was FANTASTIC!!  I think my pastry could be better though.  Any tips?

That was the let down of mine too. I am wondering if this recipe might be better with a biscuit base?

Thanks,

Charde

I find that you need to use icy cold water to make good pastry. I place ice cubes in the water I'm going to use.
I also never knead pastry. Simply press it together lightly and roll it out.
Also, bread flour makes a better pastry than cake flour.

I really like the EDC Shortcrust Pastry.
