Gluten free Lemon Meringue Pie
Pie crust:
200g Short crust pastry
Filling:
Juice and zest of 2 lemons
25g cornflour
150ml cold water
50g caster sugar
15g butter
2 egg yolks
Meringue:
2 egg whites
115g caster sugar
Method:
1. Preheat the oven 190°C or Gas mark 5
2. For the base: Defrost the pastry, need until soft then roll out on a smooth surface, covered lightly with gluten free flour. This recipe is for a 20cm pie or flan dish. Roll the pastry out to fit your dish including the bottom and sides.
3. Blind bake the pastry by lining it with greaseproof paper and fill with baking beans, any dried peas or beans will do for this, it is just a matter of putting some weight inside the case so that the pastry doesn't bubble. Bake the pastry case blind for 10 minutes, remove the paper and beans and cook a further five minutes. Lower the oven heat to 150°C/Gas 2.
4. While that is baking, make the filling: Place the cornflour and sugar into a bowl. Add enough of the water to mix the cornflour to a smooth paste. Pour the rest of the water and the grated lemon zest into a medium saucepan. Bring this to the boil, then pour it gradually on to the cornflour, mixing all the time until it is smooth.
5. Return the mix to the pan and bring back to the boil, still mixing, simmer gently for about 1 minute, stirring all the time to prevent it from catching. Then remove the pan from the heat and beat in the egg yolks, lemon juice and, finally, the butter. Pour the lemon mixture into the pastry shell and spread it out evenly.
6. For the meringue, use a large bowl and in it whisk the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. Whisk in a quarter of the sugar at a time until it is all incorporated, then spread the meringue to the very edge of the pastry rim so that it seals the edge completely. Cook in the oven for 45 minutes, until the meringue is pale beige, it should be crisp on the outside and squashy within.
7. Serve warm or cold, but if warm, leave it to settle for about 20 minutes.
