For meringue recipes, I prefer to use pasteurized eggs. Pasteurized eggs have been pasteurized to kill any germs and are safe for foods such as meringue

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal live. John 3:16 (NIV)

Bring the egg whites to room temperature before beating. This will encourage whipping and result in greater volume in your meringue.

Serious cooks keep a copper bowl to beat their egg whites in, but I make meringue just fine in my ceramic bowl. I wouldn't use plastic, because the bowl must be absolutely clean. Any trace of oil or grease that might cling to plastic will keep the whites from beating properly. This applies to your beaters, also. Make sure they are perfectly clean.

Lemon Meringue Pie Recipe

1 pre-baked pie shell

Filling:
3/4 cup sugar
5 Tablespoons cornstarch
1/3 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup cold water
3 egg yolks from pasteurized eggs, save whites for meringue
1 cup boiling water
2 tablespoons butter
grated zest of 1 lemon

Meringue
3 egg whites from pasteurized eggs
3 Tablespoons sugar

1. Combine sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and cold water
   in a saucepan.

2. Add the egg yolks. Blend well.

3. Add the boiling water, bring back to a boil and simmer
   for 1 minute.

4. Remove from heat and stir in the lemon zest and butter.

5. Pour into pie shell.

Make the Meringue:

1. Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Stiff peaks will hold their shape when mounded.

2. Gradually add the sugar, one spoonful at a time. Beat until combined and no sugar crystals remain.

3. Spread on top of the pie. Spread the meringue to the edge of the pie so that it seals with the pie shell.

4. Bake at 325 degrees until golden brown.

hope you will try this lemon meringue pie recipe. It will quickly become a family favorite.
