For Christmas my mother cooked a pie that had a meringue on top and can not figure out what went wrong. I was hoping someone else here can help me out.
The result of the pie after taking out of the oven was that the meringue had brown crystals on top and the pie was very wattery.
Recipe:
3 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 heaping T. butter
2 T. flour
1 1/2 T cocoa
2 cups milk
1 t. vanilla
Combine eggs and dry ingredients smooth all lumps and add milk, vanilla and butter. Cook in double boiler
Meringue:
3 egg whites
1/4 t. salt
1/2 t. vanilla
6 T. sugar
Bake 350 12-15 minutes in a pre-bought and cooked pie crust
