Let’s do lemon pie 🍋

Lemon pie is definitely my favorite desert (with banofee of course) because it remains me when my grandma cooked it to me when I was a child. I put you a picture of the delicious lemon pie at Perlette, one of the best tea room in the center of Toulouse.

One day i really wanted lemon pie when I wasn’t in Toulouse so far from my favorites tea rooms. And it’s really difficult to find goods one, hard to find the right balance between acidity and sugar. So, I’ve been thinking, « if I tried? »

So I found a recipe in my recipe books, and honestly for my first time, I was proud of me. It was not really nice to see but so nice in mouth ! The most difficult is to succeed to do a pretty meringue.
