This is a good recipe! I only gave 4 stars because I didn't add the extra 1/3 cup of water which would indicate why other reviewers had to add more cornstarch. I reduced the sugar as my personal preference and added 1/4 tsp. cream of tartar to the egg whites. I also spread the meringue on the filling when it's still very warm to cook the bottom. Other than my personal changes, this recipe is better than most! I would recommend watching the video of How To Make Lemon Meringue Pie for anyone who's confused. It really helps!

I have never made an easier, more delicious lemon pie in all my baking years! I only had yolks left over from a white cake, so did not make the topping. But it was devine with whipped cream. This will be the only lemon pie recipe in my recipe box.

This is a really great recipe. I was dying for some lemon meringue pie and thought I would try it out. It tasted exactly how I was imagining it would.

This was my first lemon meringue pie, so I have to give it 5 stars for coming out so great for a novice. Read reviews beforehand and did reduce sugar from 1.5 cups to 1.25, but next time would cut back to 1 cup. I have a sweet tooth, but prefer desserts on the moderately-sweet side. I also added more lemon - and it turned out great.

Absolutely perfect! I added a little more lemon juice and zest. It took just over 20mins for the meringue to brown evenly. One of the best LMPs I have ever tasted. Thanks so much, Rhonda!

I found the pie to be lip smacking and have had so many compliments every time I make it. The only advice I can give is to add 3 - 4 drops of lemon juice to the meringue before spooning over the filling and baking. It keeps the meringue from collapsing afterwards. Great recipe!

Our family swooned over this pie at Memorial Day, calling it the best lemon pie ever. It's not hard to make--I had always been intimidated by lemon meringue, but if you read the recipe through, follow the directions, and get your things together before you start, and you'll do fine. Remember to cool the filling and the crust before you put them together--that way your crust won't get soggy.

This was the first lemon meringue pie I ever made. I have never tasted one better. The tang from the fresh squeezed lemons was GREAT!(I did add a little extra) The meringue was perfect.

The best!! The filling set up beautifully-perfect texture, not all all runny or too stiff. Plenty of meringue, too. I did cut down the sugar by 1/4 cup because we like a tart lemon pie and it was perfect.

This was the best tasting pie ever! I just have a hard time getting meringue to peak, but it still was awesome. It also was a little runny, maybe it should have cooked longer. It didnt matter though, it was gone in two days, thanks to me eating most of it. Lemon Meringue is my absolute favorite but never found a recipe I liked until this one. Even I could do it! Maybe better next time!

I gotta say, Im no cook and I found your instructions very easy to follow (though it did take me a while to realise that cornstarch is cornflour over here). This made a BEAUTIFULL pie, so yummy. I did add a tad more cornstarch and a tad less sugar (as others have suggested) and I can not imagine adding the full amount of sugar, it would have been too sweet. I could not get my egg whites into 'stiff peaks' although this is likely my error, as it is the first time i have tried, therefore it took twice as long to 'cook'. Thsnk You for this wonderful recipie, I will use it time and again.

Excellent recipe. I also did not refrigerate the filling and had no trouble with the meringue. I only made one minor change - only because I like a high top meringue - I simply added two additional egg whites before beating. The extra egg whites will give you more than enough for a beautiful Meringue top with lots of peaks! I had never made a Lemon Meringue Pie where part of the meringue was added to the filling, It was wonderful and added more volume to fill a 9" pie crust perfectly. I have never had so many compliments on a pie - Well worth the effort. I will make this again and again!

A great one! I did use less sugar as others had suggested and the tartness was perfect. I didn't put the pie in the refridgerator as suggested and had no trouble with the meringue. Try this one!

This pie was DELICIOUS!! I'm glad I doubled the recipe, everybody loved it! This was the first time I ever attempted a lemon meringue pie and I succeeded after trial and error with the meringue part. If there are beginners like me out there, make sure that your eggs are at room temperature before starting this recipe and you don't get a drop of yolk in your egg white because your meringue will not form peaks. This is what happened to me and I ended up wasting eggs due to this. But it was worth it in the end when the meringue turned out perfectly! One thing I would do differently next time, is not mixing in the meringue in the lemon part as it loses its bright yellow appeal.

This got rave reviews from my family. If you prefer a more tart pie, this isn't the one for you, but if you like a smooth lemon taste you'll love it. I'd never made a lemon meringue pie, and I have to admit this turned out beautifully. Thanks for sharing!
