Shrinkage from NOT chilling the pastry dough! I put a steel pie plate to weight the pastry down while baking |
I microwave all of my fillings; they can not burn and the microwave stops cooking immediately. |
Cool the shell and the filling before putting the pie together. |
I love meringue. 2 egg whites just wasn't enough for my taste; next time I will use 4 egg whites. |
Male certain you attach the meringue to the pastry or it will shrink away and expose the lemon filling. |
Browned meringue; follow directions on the box |
The flakiest pastry is made from lard. I use the recipe on the Tenderflake box. No vegetarians in my house - lard is animal fat, jello uses animal product as well. |
