When making a lemon meringue pie, the crust is usually made with a shortbread pastry. The pie's filling is lemon curd. Of course, the topping is a fluffy and crisp meringue.
To make a meringue, whip egg whites to stiff peaks. Make it sweet by adding sugar to make it sweet. Meringues are baked in a slow oven so they come out crisp and golden when they're finished.
Since meringue is versatile, it can be made into individual servings with fruit fillings. Pastry chefs also like to make meringue cookies. By adding cocoa, coffee, or any combination of flavorings, the light, airy cookies melt in your mouth. The same is true of meringue pies.
