6-ingredient lemon meringue pie
Also known as "Rolene's lemon meringue pie", this recipe was given to us by an ex-staffer who swore her mom made the best one. She was right! And with only 6 ingredients, it really is that easy to have lemon meringue pie for tea or dessert (or even breakfast!) “The trick to this recipe that I learnt from my mother (which she learnt from my great aunt) is to leave it in the oven after baking for 10 minutes. This gives the meringue that crispy top.” – Lené Roux
