Instructions

1. 1

   Step 1

   Into a bowl, I sift the flour, add powdered sugar and softened butter, then rub everything together into crumbs.

2. 2

   Step 2

   Add 1 egg and sour cream (15% fat content), knead the dough. You can add a little flour, but do so carefully to avoid making the dough too dense.

3. 3

   Step 3

   I grease the baking pan with oil, place the dough in it, spread it out evenly, and shape the edges. I prick it with a fork to prevent puffing, then put it in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.

4. 4

   Step 4

   I wash the lemon, grate its zest, and squeeze the juice. I pour the lemon juice (about 50 milliliters) and 200 milliliters of water into a saucepan, add the zest and butter (for the filling). I bring the mixture to a boil over low heat.

5. 5

   Step 5

   I mix the starch with water (50 milliliters) and pour it into the mixture on the heat after boiling, heat for 1 minute, then remove from the heat.

6. 6

   Step 6

   In a bowl, I beat the yolks with a fork, add half of the freshly prepared mixture, and stir constantly. I pour the mixture back into the saucepan (the other half is still there), and cook over low heat until thickened.

7. 7

   Step 7

   I take the dough in the mold out of the refrigerator, cover it with parchment paper, place peas on top, and bake in a preheated oven at 220 degrees for 10 minutes. Then I remove the peas and bake for another 10 minutes.

8. 8

   Step 8

   I chill the egg whites in advance, add salt, beat until white, then add sugar and beat until stiff peaks form.

9. 9

   Step 9

   I take the cake out of the oven and let it cool. First, I spread the lemon mixture, then the meringue. I put the pie into the preheated oven at 160 degrees for 15 minutes, then remove it and let it cool to room temperature.
