Gluten-Free Lemon Meringue Pie
Is there anything as lovely as a Lemon Meringue Pie? I didn’t think so, that’s why I made one for my birthday today! I can’t wait ’til after dinner when we get to slice into the lemony goodness. I don’t make pies often, because I have never enjoyed making pie crusts. It only got worse making gluten-free pie crusts. This particular recipe I use (from Sans Gluten, S’il Vous Plait! Gluten-Free Holidays) is a f ussy recipe and I had quite a lot of trouble with it today. I won’t give up, however, because the crust may be a bear to work with, but it tastes delicious — better than my old gluten crusts!
Rolled out and ready to bake
This is how the crust looked before I put it in the oven. It looks pretty good doesn’t it? It SHOULD! I spent about 20-25 minutes fussing with the darned thing. But the results were worth it.
Baked and ready for lemony filling
Here is how the crust looked after baking. I was afraid it might shrink and slip down the sides, but as you can see — it didn’t. A little cracked on the bottom (as who isn’t?), but over all a pretty good crust.
I know I haven’t been posting for a while — too much turmoil in the family right now. But, Cheerleader and I have done a little baking and I will try to get caught up with that and then proceed from there.
