营养美味的柠檬派
文章来源: 绿豆红茶2009-05-22 06:54:37

这几天白天最高气温能到30度,夏天真是快到家门口了。最近两周我开始喜欢起冰镇柠檬汁来,每灌下一大杯,就会为自己没有选择毫无营养成分的可乐而沾沾自喜。昨天从网上看到这个lemon meringue pie的方子,就大胆做了一把。好像不太难,不过有两个小问题,不知道大厨们都是怎么处理的。第一,挤柠檬汁的时候总是不小心让柠檬籽掉出来,防不胜防。第二,这个派好像在冰箱里放过之后就会出水,不知道这个能不能避免。

不管怎么说,先看看配方吧。

Ingredients

Lemon Filling:

  • 4 egg yolks (reserve whites for meringue)

  • 1/3 cup cornstarch

  • 1 1/2 cups water

  • 1 1/3 cups sugar

  •  1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 3 tablespoons butter

  • 1/2 cup lemon juice (two lemons)

  • 1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest

  • 1 (9-inch) pre-baked pie shell

  • 1 recipe Meringue, recipe follows

Directions

Adjust the oven rack to the middle position. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Whisk egg yolks in medium size mixing bowl and set aside.

In a medium saucepan, combine cornstarch, water, sugar, and salt. Whisk to combine. Turn heat on medium and, stirring frequently, bring mixture to a boil. Boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat and gradually, 1 whisk-full at a time, add hot mixture to egg yolks and stir until you have added at least half of the mixture.

Return egg mixture to saucepan, turn heat down to low and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 more minute. Remove from heat and gently stir in butter, lemon juice, and zest until well combined. Pour mixture into pie shell and top with meringue while filling is still hot. Make sure meringue completely covers filling and that it goes right up to the edge of the crust. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until meringue is golden. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack. Make sure pie is cooled completely before slicing.

Meringue Topping:

  • 4 egg whites

  • 1 pinch cream of tartar

  • 2 tablespoons sugar

Place egg whites and cream of tartar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat egg whites until soft peaks form and then gradually add sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form, approximately 1 to 2 minutes. Use to top lemon filling.

Yield: topping for 1 (9-inch) pie

茶公评价说,这个饼长得虚胖虚胖的,呵呵。

瞧人家做的标准派



再看看我做的“丑小鸭”版。没等派凉透就切开了,所以里面的filling不太整齐 :-)



大家周末愉快!
