  1. Hubby brought home heaps of eggs from his travels around the country side from little road side shops. I didn't know what to make with three dozen of eggs and Little Miss (DD) suggested Lemon Meringue. I don't eat eggs, but my family love them so I still cook them eggs. I can't comment on the taste (because I didn't eat any) but Hubby and Little Miss (DD) really enjoyed it. I made my own shortcrust pastry and other then this I kept to the recipe. The top of the meringue was very brown (not sure if that's the way it should look) but the inside of the meringue was light and fluffy. Thanks for posting your recipe jenny butt
