- Ensure that all your ingredients are at room temperature before you start baking. This helps them to combine more easily and creates a smoother batter.
- When zesting the lemons, be careful only to remove the yellow outer skin and avoid the white pith underneath, as it can be bitter.
- Whisk the egg whites to stiff peaks for the meringue to ensure it holds its shape when piped onto the cupcakes.
- Use an ice cream scoop to evenly distribute the batter into the cupcake liners for uniform baking.
- Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before adding the meringue topping to prevent it from melting.
- For an added touch, sprinkle some lemon zest or a light dusting of powdered sugar on top of the meringue before serving.
There you have it! Your delicious lemon meringue cupcakes are ready to be served and enjoyed. The combination of tangy lemon and sweet meringue creates a flavor profile that's both refreshing and satisfying. Perfect for any occasion, these cupcakes are sure to become a favorite. Happy baking!
