Add in the egg and powdered sugar and blitz until a ball is formed, wrap in cling film and chill for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, for the lemon curd, mix together the sugar, cornflour and enough water to make a paste, in a large bowl.Make ahead –make the base and filling the day before and top with the meringue when you are ready to serve. Make ahead; the elements of this pie can be easily made ahead, ready to assemble later. The pie crust can be baked and filled with the lemon filling and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days before adding the meringue (although it is best eaten in the first 1-2 days). When you are ready to serve, add the meringue topping, torch and slice! You just don’t get that in the oven and it adds a lovely bitterness which balances the sweet and sour.

Bake for about 35-45 minutes until the meringue is crisp on the outside and soft and marshmallow-like underneath. Then, carefully whisk the egg yolk mixture into the lemon filling. Keep the heat on low and whisk only until the mixture starts to bubble. Turn the heat off. Once your sugar syrup reaches temperature pour it into the egg whites as they are being whisked and continue to whisk on high until they cool. But in reality, it is a case of standing there and removing a pan from the stove when the thermometer reaches temperature.However, I prefer an Italian meringue. Not least because it means I get to play with my non cheffy blow torch, seriously it is a plumbers torch, but also because it is my favourite meringue. To make the lemon filling, whisk the egg yolks in a small bowl or measuring jug and set aside for later. Now pour the loose egg mix into the the lemon and cornflour mix and keep on whisking for 3-4 minutes. Add the butter to the flour and then rub between your fingertips until a fine breadcrumb consistency is achieved. Simple ingredients –this recipe uses fresh lemons and a handful of basic pantry staples like flour, sugar and eggs.

Making Italian Meringue does require a little more work than a traditional meringue. You need to make a sugar syrup cooking it to a rolling boil, so you need a sugar thermometer. Prefer mini lemon meringue pies? Easy! Follow the recipe card below, but cut and shape the rolled dough into cupcake trays, instead of one large pie tin. Reduce the blind baking time and then fill the mini tart cases with the lemon filling before adding the meringue. Now line your cases (4X 10cm) using a spare bit of pastry to push into the corners without stretching the pastry too much.Preheat the oven to 190C/375F/Gas 5 and grease a 22cm/9in fluted loose-bottomed tin. Place the tin onto a baking tray. Use room temperature eggs. Room temperature egg whites whip more easily and hold more air than cold eggs. Separate your eggs, cover and allow them to reach room temperature before beating. To speed up the process, add whole eggs to a bowl of warm water for 5 minutes.
