Lemon Meringue Pie instructions

1. Pre heat oven to 190 degrees c..
2. Use the pastry to line an 8 inch flan/oven dish/tin.
3. Bake blind. This is important to ensure that the base of the pie ends up crisp and dry..
4. Mix the tinned condensed milk with the lemon rind, juice and egg yolks until thoroughly blended..
5. Pour into the baked flan case..
6. Whisk the egg whites until stiff and whisk in half the sugar. Fold in the remaining sugar and pile on top of the filling..
7. Return to oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, until the meringue is nicely coloured!.
8. N.b. Do not over bake the pastry when cooking blind. I find that 15 minutes with the grease proof and baking beans in then an additional 10 minutes after they are removed is just about right, before putting in the pie filling..
