  2. Start the lemon filling

    • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

  3. Thicken with the egg yolks

    • Reduce the heat to low and add the egg yolks to a mixing bowl.
    • While stirring, slowly ladle in some of the lemon mixture.

  5. Make the meringue

    • With a hand or stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment on low, beat the cream of tartar and egg whites just until peaks start to form.

    • Mix until stiff smooth peaks form and the mixture looks shiny.
    Stap 5
  6. Top and bake

    • Spread the meringue over the warm pie filling.
    • Use the back of a spoon to form swirls and wisps.
    • Bake on the lowest rack until the tips of the meringue swirls start to lightly brown.
