The crust is made from golden shortbread, the fillings lemon curd, and it's topped with meringue. Meringue. It's just beaten eggwags with sugar attitude. Around one thousand. People started using as lemons as dessert, and the French they invented meringue around seventeen hundreds. Americans they combined the two of them, and lemon mering pie recipes start out in cookbooks around eighteen sixty nine. Now it's about as healthy a pie as you're gonna be able to get.
