Yesterday was Sunday, the day I spend most of the time bonding with my family at home. My husband and I have found a new interesting hobby….baking! Every Sunday we browse cake recipes and try it out as dessert after dinner or for late afternoon treats with coffee. So this time we decided to bake a classic lemon meringue pie. I found the recipe from bettycrocker.com which I thought it was quite easy to follow the method given. This recipe did not use metric as a measurement but using a cup instead. I am not a fan of cup measurement as it does not bring the right amount for some ingredients for instance sugar. There are many types of granulated sugar and if you are using fine sugar, you might need to reduce the amount a little. Nevertheless, we still use this recipe for our Sunday project.

After 3 hours working in the kitchen, I would say that we were quite happy with the result. The Lemon pie turned out to be delicious even though we need to improve on the pastry part. My husband almost gave up when the dough starts cracking as he rolled with the rolling pin. In the end, we just placed the pastry dough on the pie plate and adjust accordingly.

This is how our Lemon meringue pie looks like. Isn’t she beautiful? 😉

The texture is just right and firm, not a runny filling.

The next day, I was invited to one of my close friends get together party. So I did not come empty-handed. I brought my Lemon pie to let them taste it. Guess what? they loved it! For those who are looking for something to bring for a party, why not try out this recipe. Yummy!
