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.
