    Thought this would be traditional meringue but it turned out terribly for me. The flavor was just off and it tasted terrible. The consistency was also very strange. After the 20+ minutes it took to beat the egg whites the whole thing ended up in the garbage.

    Ann, this is Delicious! It has a bit more substance than regular meringue, and “I don’t like tears in my pies” either. I know it drives my mom crazy when she bakes them and gets tears, so I’ll have to share this one with her. I paired this up with Lennie’s Old-Fashioned Banana Cream Pie. Our DD’s eyes rather rolled back in her head with enjoyment as she tasted it, followed by mmmm, and I know she told me at least twice how good it was. DH has some in his lunch for tomorrow, a really nice Monday treat. We Will be making this one again! Thank-you. I’ll have to try this meringue on a chocolate-from-scratch meringue pie next…lol

    The meringue was great! And it was my first time ever making meringue, though it is something I have always loved to eat. I think the cornstarch did give it a slightly heavier texture though, but still good!! I teamed it with Lennie's Old-Fashioned Banana Cream Pie #14979. It went very well together. Totally encouraged, I am off to look for a good lemon meringue pie.
