This makes the best meringue! It stands up tall and proud just like the meringue on bakery pies. I will use this recipe again and again. Thanks for posting.

My husband loves Lemon Meringue Pie so I promised him I would make it. I had come across your recipe some time ago and saved it to try. The photo of the cut slice is from the following day, and as you can see, the meringue is still in place and not watery or fallen. My only suggestion would be to put a note in the directions with regard to how long you can whip the egg whites once the cornstarch has been added. I think I could have whipped them longer to get a higher meringue, but I was afraid I might ruin the whites. Thx Kitten!

My hubby wanted a lemon meringue pie yesterday but my time was limited. But, being the "dutiful" wife (LOL), I pulled out a pre-made store-bought pie shell and a package of Sherriff Lemon Pie Filling. Your wonderful meringue gave me the opportunity to use my new Kitchen Aid and produce the "crowning glory" for my "home-made" pie! I checked the fridge this morning & its still holding up well. Thanx Kitten!

I agree, this is the best meringue I ever tasted. Thanks for an excellent recipe.

i'm not going to rate this right now until i have a chance to try it again. i ruined a beautiful pie w/ this meringue, but i also accidently put in more salt than called for so hopefully that was the problem. the meringue was beautiful, but a couple hours later i poured about a cup of liquid out of the pie. by the next day the filling ended up turning to soup (it was a very thick custard pie) and the crust turned into mush. i ended up tossing the whole thing. i HOPE it's the extra salt i added. i'll try it again soon and will add stars when i see how it works.

I was asked to make a chocolate cream pie for someone's birthday, and the topping was meringue. This was my third attempt at making the meringue for the topping, and it was perfect! The first two were samplers for the family. This is definitely a keeper!

I made this meringue to go on my chocolate pie (#110397). I've never been able to make a good meringue. This was so easy and good! Thanks!

Used this for my Lemon Meringue pie. No weeping at all, and the taste was good. Thanks, Kittencal.
