Tarte au citron meringuée

Lemon meringue pie is a crisp blind-baked crust filled with a bright, tart lemon custard and crowned with a cloud of soft, golden-toasted meringue. The filling is thickened with cornstarch and egg yolks so it slices clean rather than running, while the meringue goes on hot filling and seals to the crust edge to keep it from weeping. It is the classic three-part balance of buttery, silky, and sweet-tart in every forkful.
