Lemon meringue cupcakes are a delightful twist on the classic lemon meringue pie. These cupcakes are bursting with zesty lemon flavor and topped with a light, fluffy meringue. They make a perfect treat for any occasion, from afternoon tea to festive celebrations.
- Make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature before you start. This helps with mixing and ensures even baking.
- For the best lemon flavor, use freshly grated lemon zest and fresh lemon juice.
- When separating egg whites for the meringue, ensure there are no traces of yolk in the whites, as this can prevent the meringue from whipping up properly.
- Whip the egg whites for the meringue until they form stiff peaks. This ensures a stable meringue that holds up well on top of the cupcakes.
- Bake the cupcakes on the center rack of your oven to ensure even heat distribution.
- Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before topping with the meringue, so it doesn't start to melt.
These lemon meringue cupcakes are sure to impress with their delightful combination of tart lemon flavor and sweet, fluffy meringue. Follow these tips and your cupcakes will turn out perfectly every time. Enjoy these beautiful and tasty treats with your loved ones!
