For the filling Mary now uses a can of condensed milk instead of cornflour, and she uses 12 digestive biscuits reduced to crumbs and mixed with some melted butter for the casing. The meringue bit is still the same.
Such different times. You weren't a respectable middle class woman back then if you didn't care for pissing around all afternoon with meringues. The presenter seems like she feels so inadequate stood there.
oh bless you didn't say anything wrong I was just adding what my grandparents did when they lived around that time so someone above said terrible cream - cheap and in the film the meringue look to
Oh my god that looks bloody awful. My lemon meringue doesn't even see the oven as it would end up weeping all over the place, and instead I use Italian meringue recipe then torch it. Her new recipe is even worse--biscuit base and condensed milk? Rank
I don’t know how her recipe was like this !Fruit meringue pie recipes,even a strawberry one, was in mrs Beetons household management from 1860 without biscuits etc and proper meringue!
