Recipe's preparation
Lightly grease a 22 cm pie dish and set aside.
Roll out pastry onto ThermoMat or a lightly floured work surface to line your pie dish. Transfer pastry to prepared pie dish and remove any excess pastry hanging over the edges. Ensure there are no tears or holes in the pastry. Allow to rest 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
Preheat oven to 180°C. Line chilled pastry base with baking paper then fill with pie weights or beans. Blind bake 15 minutes (180°C) on the bottom shelf of the oven until slightly golden. Remove pie weights or beans and bake for a further 10 minutes (180°C), until golden brown and cooked through. Set pastry in pie dish aside and allow to cool.
Place lemon zest and caster sugar into mixing bowl and mill 10 sec/speed 9. Scrape down sides of bowl.
Add lemon juice and butter and heat 3 min/60°C/speed 2.
With blades rotating 45 - 50 sec/speed 2, add eggs one at a time through hole in mixing bowl lid. Once eggs are incorporated, cook 7 min/80°C/speed 2. Filling will thicken as it cooks. Set aside. Thoroughly clean and dry mixing bowl.
Increase oven temperature to 200°C.
Insert butterfly. Place egg whites and cream of tartar into mixing bowl and whip 3 - 4 min/50°C/speed 3.5, continuing to whip until stiff peaks form.
With butterfly rotating 4 min/50°C/speed 3, add icing sugar one tablespoon at a time through hole in mixing bowl lid.
Transfer lemon filling into cooked pastry case and gently smooth over the top. Spread meringue on top of lemon filling and use a spoon to form soft peaks. Bake 5 minutes (200°C) until meringue is lightly browned. Remove from oven and allow to cool (approx. 30 minutes) then transfer into the refrigerator to chill for minimum 1 hour.
Slice and serve chilled.

Tip
Lemon meringue pie is a great dessert or special treat at afternoon tea.
The recipe for one batch of sweet shortcrust pastry can be found in the Everyday Cookbook.
The filling of the pie will be a pouring custard consistency at step 7 when you add it to the pastry. This is why it is important to ensure that there are no holes in your pastry. If there are any holes, no need to worry, the pastry can be easily pressed back together prior to baking.
The recipe for this Lemon Meringue Pie and other delicious recipes can be found in our Everyday Cookbook. Visit //bit.ly/1hrB8Z3 or contact your Consultant to purchase your copy.

This will now be my go- to lemon meringue recipe....
This will now be my go- to lemon meringue recipe. I used the zest of three lemons as we like extra lemony flavour and very finely chopped them prior to adding to sugar.
As others have said I whisked the 6 whole eggs prior to adding and increased the speed to 5 to make sure they were all whisked up well.
Next time will whip the meringue either at a higher speed or a longer time as, despite being a clean and dry bowl, the whites seemed to lose their puff after it was cooked.
All in all, excellent flavour and super simple, quick and easy to make a decident dessert.

It worked out fabulously. I went half half with egg yolks and full eggs , used the egg white for the top. Added also a little bit of starch/cornflour to the filling.
It's an excellent recipe! Thank you for sharing!

I see this recipe in particular was created with the TM 31 in mind, can I follow the instructions equally for the TM6?

Used whole eggs and whisked prior to mixing, but it still came out stringy and runny. May try using egg yolks only next time.

The lemon filling was delicious. I also didn't include the egg whites as white little i didn't manage to seperate the mixture became stringy. Managed to pull out once cooked. Would also use less icing sugar next time too - left be hind the taste.

Turned out beautifully. Didn’t change anything. The filling was very nice and thick so not sure where others went wrong?
Thanks for a fabulous recipe. I made one large pie and one mini. Lovely and tart as a lemon meringue should be.
My first attempt at this recipe (failed at others)...
My first attempt at this recipe (failed at others) and it has worked brilliantly. Used the 6 whole eggs but wisked them individually before adding and didn't get any cooked whites. Also added 1/4 teaspoon of cornflour (if in doubt, add cornflour!).

My first ever attempt at lemon meringue pie was with this recipe and it turned out brilliantly except for the streaks of egg white, which I fished out. Just read the comments before my second attempt and will whisk the eggs before adding them to the filling - silly me! Hubby thought first attempt was Devine!
This was a great dish!

Yummy and easier than expected.
I used store bought pastry which was ok but next time I think home made will be better
The filling was way too
The filling was way too runny, I reduced 6 whole eggs to just 6 egg yolks, added cornflour as per other commentors. Next time I would add juice of an extra Lemon & some extra cornflour. I would make 1.5 times the amount of filling also as didn't fill the pastry case. The meringue was nice but i cooked the meringue for 30mins on 180c as wanted a crunchier, browner meringue top. Served it hot with whipped cream.
I had the same issue with the
I had the same issue with the whole eggs, but think that it was because I wasn't slow enough putting them in.
Next time I will use whole eggs, but will whisk it a bit and put them in slowly.
it was yummy and my husband absolutely loved it.
Great recipe, thank
Great recipe, thank you!
From reading others suggestions, for the filling I used 6 X egg yolks + 1/4 tsp of cornflour. This created a lovely thick filling. The only issue was, it wasn't enough! I'd probably x1.5 the filling next time.. Thanks again.
OTHER COMMENTS are saying
OTHER COMMENTS are saying there are potential issues with the step of adding the eggs. i experienced no issues in my TM5 B U T i did pause for a few minutes between each step when making the FILLING - this was due to the stuffed peppers i made at the same time.

terribly easy recipe,

I followed others' advice &
I followed others' advice & only used the egg yolks for the lemon curd & juice of 4 lemons (around 130g) - turned out beautifully
This turned out perfectly.
This turned out perfectly. After reading other comments I was a bit skeptical of using 6 whole eggs as I have always only used egg yolks in lemon meringue pie so I cracked all 6 eggs into a little jug and gave them a good whisk so that the yolks and whites were properly combined. I then gradually poured this into the mixture rather than cracking a whole egg in at a time. This seemed to eliminate the streaky egg white problem some others have add.
The lemon curd is very 'zingy' and packs a punch but with the sweet meringue it was yum. I served with a raspberry coulis and it was delicious!
I made this as per the recipe
I made this as per the recipe and it turned out perfectly, I will use this recipe again as we have our own chooks and this uses quite a lot of eggs so no problems with excess eggs now.
im going to try egg yolks
im going to try egg yolks next time, this was a major fail for me with whole eggs, it cooked heaps of the gg white and i had to pretty much hand pick it out, took me forever
I used the recipe from the
I used the recipe from the BCB and this was a bit of a fail for me
I used whole eggs like the recipe said in the lemon curd and i had SOOOOOO many strands of cooked egg white, it took me forever to get these all out as I couldnt really push it through a strainer because the eggs whites would break up. also i used 220g lemon juice and found this to be quite tangy and a bit runny also. so i will try 120g lemon juice next time as recommended here?? also my meringue collapsed a bit cause i had already mixed it and then spent so much time getting the cooked egg whites out. should i try again? unsure 
AMAZING!
AMAZING!

I have made it twice and both
I have made it twice and both times the lemon failed - it was too runny. I see that every other recipe for lemon meringue has some cornflour in it, so maybe that is the trick. I won't bother with this recipe again as it is was a waste of ingredients.
I made it for the first time

I made this today from the cookbook which says 220g lemon juice and my filling was too runny! Just saw here that it says 120g so the cookbook obviously has a typo in it
