Directions
South African Style Lemon Meringue Pie, My own variation on the very popular South African style of Lemon Meringue Pie Has a biscuit base, delicious tart lemon filling and fluffy meringue I worked out the recipe based on others I’d found and trying to approximate the pie I remembered from my childhood! Can be made either as two big pies (shallow 20cm, or in theory one deep pie with lots of meringue!) or a series of smaller ones in muffin or cupcake cases , My own variation on the very popular South African style of Lemon Meringue Pie Has a biscuit base, delicious tart lemon filling and fluffy meringue I worked out the recipe based on others I’d found and trying to approximate the pie I remembered from my childhood!
