today, char and i made lemon meringue pie :)
oh, i must say that mrs huang would be so proud of us.
she alwaes said that she wanted her st nicks baobeis to be,
"jing de liao chu fang, chu de liao ting tang"
and i think char and i will make pretty decent housewives next time :)
yay !

and i think mrs huang would be even more delighted to know that,
the recipes that we have been using for our baking creations,
are all taken from the st nicks cook book !

here's how we made our pie.
there's three main steps.
1 - make the pie crust
2 - make the lemon custard filling
3 - make the coolbeans meringue

first, mix in some flour, suger, butter and water.

when it is all nice and doughy, flatten out the dough.
because we couldnt find the rolling pin, we used a plastic cup instead.


when the dough is nicely flattened onto the baking tray,
throw it into the oven to bake for 20mins until golden brown !
be sure to make a crust with TALL sides,
so that the custard fillings wont leak out at the sides.
when the crust and nicely baked, leave it out to cool down,
while we start on our custard filling.
you are highly recommended to start with the custard only after the crust is done,
that is because the custard solidifies really quickly.
also, it gets burnt really easily too.
to make the lemon custard,
mix a bowl of castor suger, fresh milk and flour.
next, heat it over medium fire until it starts to thicken.

when the mixture thickens,
add in 2 egg yolks and a cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice.
be sure to stir the mixture VIGOROUSLY,
because the yolk and lemon juice causes the mixture to thicken much more quickly.
poor mixing will produce an awfully lumpy custard.

and when you're satisfied with the mixing,
pour the yummy lemon custard onto the crispy crust !!

now, we can start on the meringue :)
using an electric mixer, whisk egg whites with a tablespoon of sugar,
until the mixture becomes nice and fluffy !!
and then you can spread it onto the custard.

next, pop the pie into the oven and bake for 5mins,
until the edges of the meringue turn nice and brown :)

oh, another successful creation by char and kerly :)
char's family tried it and loved it.
i cant wait to show it off to my mum and sister tomorrow !!

yay !
happiness is what i feel :)
