3 egg yolks
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
20 grams butter
zest and juice of 2 lemons
4 tablespoons cornflour
Place all ingredients in a glass bowl or jug. Microwave for about 4 minutes on high, whisking mixture at the end of each minute. Cool, then pour into a pastry shell*.
3 egg whites
4 tablespoons caster sugar
Beat egg whites till stiff, add sugar and beat until sugar dissolves. Pile on top of lemon mixture. Bake for a few minutes until meringue is golden.
* OK, I usually cheat at this point and use a ready-rolled pastry sheet. Of course, another option is to dispense with the pastry altogether and just make lemon meringue puddings in little bowls.
Enjoy.
