Yes, a bit more work involved with the resting time but seeing as it was my first time trying it, I followed the recipe. No complaints there :-) Love the filling, not too sweet and I certainly got the tangy lemon taste! I think I mucked up with the meringue by possibly over beating while adding the caster sugar as once it rested and cooled, clear sugar syrup (a lot!) came out when I cut it. Certainly not the recipe's fault, more the user ;-) It was still edible and no one noticed after I soaked it up.

Method

Pastry
Combine the Chelsea White Sugar and egg in a food processor until pale and frothy. Add the butter, flour, baking powder and salt. Process until the mixture clumps together in a ball around the blade. Wrap in cling film or baking paper and chill for 30 minutes.

Press the chilled pastry into the base and up the sides of a 23-25cm loose-bottomed quiche, cake or pie tin. Chill again for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 180ºC bake.

Blind bake pastry crust for 20-25 minutes until golden and crisp. Reduce the oven temperature to 160ºC bake.

Filling
While the pastry crust bakes, make the filling. Place all the ingredients in a bowl and mix until well combined. Pour into the cooked pastry shell. Bake for 20 minutes.

Meringue
Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gradually beat in the Chelsea Caster Sugar until it is all incorporated and the mixture is glossy. This should take about 10 minutes.

Pipe or pile the meringue onto the hot filling. Bake for 15 minutes, until meringue is firm and crisp. Cool completely in the tin (can be refrigerated after cooling if desired).

Slice the cooled pie with a wet knife, wiping it clean between cuts. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream.
