Title: Lemon Meringue pie in EDC
Post by: tasbell on September 13, 2009, 01:46:59 pm: I made the Lemon Meringue pie from EDC today and when i got to the Meringue part it has 1/4 tsp of cream of tatar in the ingredients but it does not list it at all in the method.

Has anyone else noticed this?

I did add it to the egg whites at the start as i noticed another recipe i noticed added it then.

The big pictures are SOOO much better than my little ones. >:( >:(

I'm on to it. Have emailed Tenina with this error.

As to photos Jan, I use photobucket. Upload them to there and choose the size I want. Photobucket is free.

I've used Flickr, and then selected the medium sized pic.

Post by: cookie1 on June 07, 2010, 07:54:57 am: I can truly appreciate that problem Thermomixer. It's not so much the meal, it's all the leftovers that someone HAS to eat.

Post by: Herbal on June 20, 2010, 10:25:34 am: I'd love some tips on the pastry too - not so much the mixing it, but the blind baking of it.

The EDC is a bit bereft of instructions other than you cook it at 200 degrees...

Cheers,
Herbal

That was the let down of mine too. I am wondering if this recipe might be better with a biscuit base?

Thanks,

Charde

Post by: meganjane on April 17, 2012, 03:29:51 am: I find that you need to use icy cold water to make good pastry. I place ice cubes in the water I'm going to use.
I also never knead pastry. Simply press it together lightly and roll it out.
Also, bread flour makes a better pastry than cake flour.

I really like the EDC Shortcrust Pastry.
