For the best flavor, use fresh, high-quality lemons. Be careful not to overbeat the egg whites, as this can make the pie tough. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, tent it with aluminum foil. Cooling the pie completely is crucial for the filling to set properly. Resist the urge to cut into it too soon! A stand mixer makes creaming the butter and sugar much easier, but a hand mixer works well too.

Sep 19, 2024The cooling time is essential. I tried to cut into it too soon, and it was a little runny, but after it cooled completely, it was perfect.
