First time making lemon meringue pie from scratch. WOW was it delicious. Made the filling and meringue exactly as the recipe is written. Lemon juice came out to about 1/2 cup. Don’t use milk if you want a real lemon meringue pie! Perfect tang and texture. This pie is thickened with cornstarch and flour in addition to egg yolks, and contains no milk.
