I loved this as a kid but I realise now it was because my mum made it from a PACKET. She admitted to this recently. My piathalon pie from last year was just like this, good for sipping!

This is so sad a recipe and it looks from the pics that you don't do many pie crusts and filling recipes. Let's not even get into the issues of the meringue recipe and the way it was put on the pie! Once you add the Lemon juice the mixture does not thicken in these older recipes. My Grandmother recipe is from the '20s and it uses both corn starch and flour. No milk, boiling water only. I have added extra flour, corn starch, and egg yolk to make it a more consistent product. Better luck next time getting a good recipe!CHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17219407715153267677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8696383493674768665.post-39703374212505360722016-06-08T14:37:44.741-04:002016-06-08T14:37:44.741-04:00It looks as if a lot of other cooks were more pati...It looks as if a lot of other cooks were more patient with their recipes than I was, but hey...
