Lemon meringue pie
Merangue is the perfect food to make when you're angry as hell.
Lemon Merangry pie.
Meringue is easy if you have an electric mixer. Difficult if you don't. Make sure the eggs are not cold and use the cream of tartar, mix by hand and then with the mixer.
Wouldn't that only make one angrier?
Do you mean merang-rier?
One thing I learned about meringue is that the slightest bit of fat will turn it into frosting.
Even a mixing bowl/whip that has been sitting in an open kitchen may have accumulated enough aerosolized cooking oil to effect the outcome. I've never failed after washing the utensils and then being scrupulous about broken yolks.
Preach. I keep my kitchen as clean as possible, and it's still so easy to miss something that will mess up the meringue, or even the curd.
The crust is at least foolproof lol. I'd been making pies long before I decided I wanted to tackle meringue.
