Lemon Meringue Pie

Dear Diary,

I have recently decided to go round to my grandmas and bake with her, she has so many tricks that I felt I was just being silly by not learning them. I ended up having to make little notes of things she was saying just so I could try and remember them all!

We decided to start with 2 things that I had never made, pastry and meringue, and came up with lemon meringue pie all from scratch. To do that we started with a short crust pastry, something I thought was much harder that it turned out to be.

Jam Tarts

Dear Diary,


There was some leftover pastry from a previous pie made and so we decided to use it up and made some little jam tarts. I wanted to make something that wasn’t lemon as some people don’t like it so decided to go for jam J
