My Nana does an truely awesome lemon meringue pie, I've never quite mastered it so I had to find my own recipe until I finally get her recipe perfect.
Easy Lemon Meringue Pie
1 single 10 inch pie crust already made (you can buy pastry mix and blind bake this - meaning without filling for about 15 minutes at 200C, graham cracker works too for crust or crushed hob nobs)
Filling
4 cans condensed milk
1 cup lemon juice
6 egg yokes
Meringue
6 egg whites
1/2 tsp cream of tartar
1/2 cup sugar
For filling, mix ingredients and pour into prepared pie crust.
For meringue in a high sided bowl mix ingredients with a mixer on high for about 4 minutes or until stiff peaks form.
Using a spatual spoon meringue onto pie filling closing all the edges. For peaks take back of spoon and press gentley onto meringue top and pull away to make pretty peaks!
Bake at 200C for about 5 to 7 minutes or until the top is a little brown.
My Grandfather has passed down to me his chocolate chip cookie recipe which I am very known for. These cookies have been given out at conventions, as Christmas presents and are always enjoyed! Somedays like today I get a little lazy and don't feel like making the cookies, so I make these into bars instead.
Chocolate Chip Cookies (or Bars)
1 cup butter
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
1 tsp baking soda
2 1/4 cup plain flour
1 12oz pack of chocolate chips (or chop up a large dairy milk bar)
Preheat oven to 375F or gas mark 5
Mix butter & sugars until creamy. Add in eggs and vanilla until mixed. Add in baking powder and flour mix until all the flour is mixed in.
Add chocolate.
If you are going for cookies, you'll need teaspoons to dole these out onto cookie sheets. They make about 48 cookies. Bake at 375F for 8 minutes.
If you are doing bars lighly grease a 13x8 baking pan, press cookie mixture into pan and bake for about 30 - 40 minutes.
