- Ensure your butter is cold when making the pie crust to achieve a flakier texture.
- When making the meringue, ensure that your bowl and beaters are completely clean and free from any grease to help the egg whites whip up properly.
- Gradually add sugar to the egg whites while beating to ensure smooth and stiff peaks.
- Allow the orange filling to cool slightly before adding the meringue to prevent it from melting.
- Bake the pie until the meringue is just golden brown for the best texture and flavor.
- For a more intense orange flavor, use freshly squeezed orange juice and finely grated zest.
With its zesty orange flavor and airy meringue topping, the orange meringue pie is a scrumptious dessert that will impress your family and friends. Following these steps will help you achieve a pie that is both beautiful and delicious. Enjoy your culinary creation!
