Honey Meringue Pie

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

   Tip: Use a rack in the center of the oven for even baking.

2. 2

   In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

   Tip: Make sure to sift the dry ingredients for an even texture.

3. 3

   In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

   Tip: Start with a slow speed and gradually increase as needed.

4. 4

   Beat in the eggs one at a time, allowing each egg to fully incorporate before adding the next.

   Tip: Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.

5. 5

   Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the honey.

   Tip: Start and end with the dry ingredients for the best results.

6. 6

   Beat in the softened butter and meringue powder until well combined.

   Tip: Use a rubber spatula to scrape the sides of the bowl, if needed.

7. 7

   Pour the batter into a greased 20cm pie dish.

   Tip: Make sure to tilt the dish to evenly coat the bottom and sides.

8. 8

   Place the pie in the oven and immediately reduce the heat to 160°C (320°F).

   Tip: Use a water bath to prevent the pie from burning.

9. 9

   Bake for 25 minutes, then increase the heat to 200°C (400°F) and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the meringue is golden brown.

   Tip: Use a kitchen torch to achieve a crispy meringue, if desired.

10. 10

    Remove the pie from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.

    Tip: Use a spatula to gently lift the edges of the meringue and create a clean edge.
