LEMON MERINGUE PIE FOR TWO
A classic lemon meringue pie should have the perfect balance of a buttery crust, tart filling and sweet meringue topping. We kept all the quintessential components but scaled it down to serve just two! By simply cutting down some ingredients and using premade miniature graham cracker pie crusts, you can make an impressive and tasty dessert for a smaller crowd.

Steps:
- For the crust and filling: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the miniature graham cracker pie crusts on a small baking sheet. Bake until light golden and toasted, about 8 minutes. Cool completely.
- Meanwhile, heat the sugar, cornstarch, lemon zest and 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, whisking continuously, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture thickens, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat.
- Whisk together the egg yolks and lemon juice in a medium bowl until smooth. While continuously whisking, slowly add the sugar syrup to the egg mixture until completely incorporated. This will temper the eggs without overcooking or scrambling them. Transfer back to the same small saucepan and return to the stove over medium heat. Cook, whisking continuously, until the mixture thickens to a pudding-like consistency, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat, then whisk in the butter and vanilla until smooth.
- Spoon the filling into the pie crusts and smooth out the tops. Place a piece of plastic wrap directly on top of each pie, pressing onto the filling so it doesn't create a "skin." Refrigerate until chilled through and completely set, at least 4 hours and up to overnight.
- For the meringue topping: Add the sugar, cream of tartar and egg white to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and whisk to combine. Place the bowl over a small saucepan of simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl is not touching the water. Cook, whisking constantly, until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture feels hot to the touch, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the bowl to the mixer and whisk on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, 5 to 6 minutes. Whisk in the vanilla until combined. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a medium star tip.
- Remove the plastic wrap from the pies. Pipe the meringue evenly on top of each pie in a circular motion to create a large rosette, making sure to cover the filling completely. Toast the meringue using a kitchen torch or broil in the oven until golden brown, keeping an eye on the meringue if broiling, 1 to 2 minutes.

OLD FASHIONED LEMON MERINGUE PIE
This is a wonderful tart/sweet pie. It is amazingly easy and quick to make this from-scratch pie. Use a store bought pie crust for convenience. It needs to chill in the fridge at least 2 hours, preferably overnight. I usually try to have my meringue going while the filling is cooking so that it will be ready while the filling is still nice and hot so it doesn't seperate, but not too soon so it doesn't weep. Sometimes I make it and sometimes I don't, but either way its an amazingly delicious pie.
