Chef, seeing you perform your magic online is like watching my Uncle Buck in our kitchen. So comforting. That you for all the magic you create, cook and bake. Happy trails........
So nice of you. Thank you 😋 Best, Rik
Can't remember the last time I had a Lemon Meringue pie 🤔 my Gran used to make them all the time when we were young ❤
Its one of those forgotten pies that is simple to make but takes a little time. I just love the lemon flavour in most things but lemon meringue tops all. Best, Rik
Lemon meringue pie is one of my favorite pies!! My mom used to make the best ones! 😋
Mom's always do! Thank you. Best, Rik
well if that does not take me back to my childhood nothing ever will. Great recipe (as always) mate.
Agreed there Les - Happy New Year - Best, Rik
Also like this with a ginger biscuit base Rik , it’s lovely
Yes! Great tip. Best, Rik
That's how the Mrs makes it and goes perfectly with the lemon and meringue flavours👍
@@Logans3Run I make a ginger sponge cake with a lemon drizzle icing it’s divine 👍
Looks great!
Thank You. Best, Rik
That brings back happy memories, my mum used to make it ❤x
I love it, one of my all-time favourites. Happy memories. Best, Rik
A thing of beauty is a joy forever. And, that pie is one of the most beautiful I’ve ever seen.
Thank you. Best, Rik
That is the best meringue I have ever seen. Outstanding job!
Thank you. Best, Rik
Look at that! Has to be your catch phrase. Looks lovely
It is. Thank you. Best, Rik
A classic and a favourite of mine
Thank you. Best, Rik
Great job chef !!! I had never heard of the corn flour ( starch ) trick in a meringue, but will try it the next time I do this pie. My wife's ex is a chef with a background in pastry and I''m guessing he knows that trick but neither she nor I did. I did your take on chicken Kiev last week and it was absolutely delicious. I made one small mistake and tried to insert the compound butter column while it was still too stiff after refrigeration, and ended up tearing one of the beasts but the leakage was minimal. Softer butter or bigger pocket next time, ha ha. ( insert your own joke here, LOL !!!!! )
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and techniques with us amateur cooks / chef wanna be's. A Happy New Year to you and yours from me and my family here across the pond. --- den
Den great comment - there are many ways to help in cooking and most of us just get on and cook and forget about spreading the word - its nice when you can show something and its appreciated - even if others do not agree because they were never shown - Happy New year from us. Best, Rik
Wow! Love the height of the meringue! And the crust and 🍋filling looks delicious!

Thanks for watching! Thank you. Best, Rik
Oh M ** GoSH .....Yum .. I mean YUM !
Thank you. Best, Rik
Love your recipes😊
Thank you so much 😊Best, Rik
Maybe this should be on Simon Mayo`s confessions but back when I was a child in the 70`s, I made one of those boxed cake thingymebobs, where you had all the ingredients in the box. Everything was going well until I took the pie out of the oven....... It slipped and all the meringue fell onto the floor. Did I confess.......no, I scooped up all the meringue, put it back on the pie and popped it back in the oven to brown. All of the family loved the pie and if they realised there was stuff in the meringue that shouldn`t have been there, they never let on. As I say, a bit muck can`t hurt you lol
Many have had similar experiences. Thank you. Best, Rik
My Favorite kind of Pie
Thank you. Best, Rik
13:38 One of my favourites. I didn't know that you had to chill it for 5 hours. Lots of lovely meringue on top.
There are many versions. Some set up, some you have to wait for it to set up. Best, Rik
Hi, this is just like my mom’s from the 60’s, but she added she beaten egg yolks in the hot mixture.She added a bit (tablespoon) of the mixture at a time until you added 1/4-1/2 a cup. Then add it all back to the pan and cooked it a few more minutes on low heat. Not sure I want to eat raw egg yolks. I’ll try the cornstarch to the whites! Thanks for a good memory.
Thank You. Best, Rik
Looks great! Love that pie
Thank you. Best, Rik
My favourite!
Mine too Phil - Happy New Year. Best, Rik
Perfection!
Thank you. Best, Rik
Thanks for sharing I just could have a piece of that
Thank you. Best, Rik
I was looking for this recipe today and your video came up today
Thank you. Best, Rik
Yummy!
😋Thank you. Best, Rik
brilliant fae the disabled guy,.👍👍👍👍
Thanks. Looking like you are a baker? Can't tell really the thumbnail is too small for my eyes these days. Best, Rik
Hi Rik , that looks great. As an alternative I have used crushed up ginger biscuits with melted butter as a base.
Fantastic! I love ginger biscuit base. Thank you. Best, Rik
My first favourite dessert , wow indeed .
Thank you. Best, Rik
I have 2 favorite pies lemon meringue and pumpkin
Thank you. Best, Rik
That's lovely. I want to eat it now. Happy New Year to you.
Cheers Roger - Happy New Year mate. Best, Rik
Very nice my favorite Rik love the size of the lemon could we have all measurements for this ?
In the description. Thank you. Best, Rik
I love lemon meringue, I have all the ingredients, going to make it tomorrow, and I will let you know how it turned out.
Thank you. Best, Rik
Rik, if using Limes instead of Lemons for this recipe, would you adjust the sugar quantity?
I wouldn't depends your your tastes. Thank You. Best, Rik
can you let us have a quick tirimusu recipe please ❤
Ok. Thank you. Best, Rik
Rick. I cheated on this recipe. I used the pastry, meringue and all of your techniques but filled it with a key lime pie filling and muddled through.
The pastry was crumbly perfection, the meringue a triumph and the filling was definitely LIME!
Thanks for adding another string to my ancient bow
No worries, cooking is about what you like. Taste and adjust. I don't have hang ups leave that to all the armchair warriors. Thank you. Best, Rik
Just wondering, would you not taste the vinegar in the meringue?
I can't. Thank you. Best, Rik
Did you use fresh lemons ?
I did. Best, Rik
@@BackyardChef many thanks I’ll give it a go next week.
At 6:56, the egg yolks should not be added directly to the pan. Instead, pour a small amount of the mixture into the bowl holding the egg yolks first to bring them up to temperature. This process is known as tempering. Then add the contents of that bowl into the pan. The reason for doing this is to avoid the risk of having the eggs turning into scrambled eggs if they are added to the pan when they are at room temp.
Did mine? NO.
Thats aa rolled pie crust preshaped as a rectangle? I have never seen that shape available here. Im in Massachusetts, USA. Who puts those out, please?
Thank you. Best, Rik
That is the tallest, step-aside you wimps, Lemon Meringue pie I have seen. The kind that makes the Church Ladies mark you for shunning at social events. A Grande Dame of Lemon Pies if there ever was one.
If you are in a time pinch, a perfectly respectable crust is to be found by using Graham Cracker Crumbs that blends in very nicely with this pie and is easier and quicker to prepare. For the Sneaky Cooks, you can buy already made in the pie plate Graham Cracker Crusts at many grocery stores, just keep mum about it. Bake for 10 mins., then add your filing. 🥧 ❤
Lovely! Thank you. Best, Rik
Deleted previous comment.
Second one came out Brilliant 👍🏾 I obviously measured something wrong. The butter I think 🎉
Well done. Thank you. Best, Rik
You shouldn't have bothered to stick the plastic wrap into the lemon pudding ... just cover it until it cooled. Also you really don't need to add cornstarch to the meringue. Cornstarch is loaded with pesticide residue.
Thank you. Best, Rik
I’ve got to try this. My filling is always runny 🤷♀️ I’ll try yours cause I love lemon meringue pie, my favourite pie besides pumpkin. I just so disappointed after trying so hard to get filling to set. And not weep under meringue. Ugh
Thank you. Best, Rik
Do you make custard slices 😂😂😂😂😂
I love custard slices - Thank you. Best, Rik
My nan used the back of a spoon and lightly press to make really nice peaks.
Yes, Nan was right. Thanks for sharing. Best, Rik
The ONE thing worse than burned crust is soggy bottom pastry! 😝
Thank you. Best, Rik
Errrrrrr. I poked holes in it for 6.5 hours and I still don’t have a million holes. Should I continue or stop? My arm bloody hurts. 😥
Up to you as they say
😂😂😂😂 🥧 🙋
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
You left us with out measurements 😢
No - you didn't read the full list in the description. Thank You. Best, Rik
This was a complete disaster for me. The lemon filling didn’t set, the meringue wasn’t great either. Never mind, at least the Madeira came out lovely.
Oh dear! Thank you. Best, Rik
Oh Dear! Thank you. Best, Rik
