Instructions
- Method
- Line an 18cm flan tin/pie plate with your pastry and blind bake as per the video.
- Beat the egg yolks with 100g of the sugar, add the lemon juice, zest, juice and boiling water.
- Bring to the boil and add the cornflour slurry, stirring all the time until it thickens.
- Pour into the pastry case.
- Whisk the egg white and cream of tartar on slow speed until well frothy (not stiff yet) Add the sugar in 3 - 4 lots whisking well in between. Once all the sugar is in you can whisk on full speed for about 4 - 5 minutes until glossy and stiff.
- Spread over the lemon filling making sure it comes right to the pastry edge.
- Bake at 150ºC for about 15 - 20 minutes until the surface is pale golden. Now turn your oven off, open the door slightly and leave for a further 20 minutes before removing.
