Martha Stewart's Mile-High Lemon Meringue Pie, Lemon Cupcakes and ME!
This story includes Martha Stewart and Brenda. (Full name withheld to protect my Squidoo culinary reputation.) Well, actually, the story includes Martha Stewart's Lemon Cupcakes recipe and Treasures By Brenda and, yes, you will find Martha's cupcake recipe on this page. However, you will also find my funny story about the decade-old adventure I have had with Martha Stewart's Mile High Lemon Meringue Pie.
It is my aim to have you smiling and not puckering at the end of the page! Please do let me know if I've achieved my goal!
This Page Started When Bonnie Said...
My 'boss', Bonnie, also know as BDKZ and the fearless leader of RocketMoms said, "Write a page about yourself. Write a page that is useful. Write a page that is unique." Well, I have no problems writing a page that is useful or unique, but about me? That is a different issue altogether.
So I spent a few hours making Martha Stewart's Lemon Cupcakes because I have a very personal story and a long history with Martha Stewart's Mile High Lemon Meringue Pie and I knew I could put the right spin on it to make this page not only about the lemon cupcake recipe you are looking for but also about me.
The History Of My Mile-High Lemon Meringue Adventure
My Mile-High Lemon Meringue story is pretty simple and painfully funny. Many years ago, probably more than ten, I was intrigued by Martha Stewart's Mile High Lemon Meringue Pie recipe. The pie sounded great and the meringue, amazing. So, at some point, I decided to give it a go. To try it. To undertake the most difficult recipe of my life.
Well, I don't know if it is the most difficult recipe of my life or not but I am calling it that because it failed. Not once. Not twice. But thrice. Yes, I was 'dumb' enough to try it more than twice.
The problem? Not the pastry (although, if you've read A Tasty & Traditional Easter Dinner Menu you know that I'm pie challenged.) Not the lemon curd, it seemed to work out fine. Not the meringue, it whipped up very nicely, thank you very much. However, when the three were combined and put into the oven to brown, the curd turned to soup and so, my family laughs out loud whenever we talk about lemon meringue pie. (Affectionately known as lemon meringue soup.)
Years passed. I did not try making Martha Stewart's lemon meringue pie EVER AGAIN although my reputation lived on. The really sad thing was that the pie, despite being in soup form, had still managed to TASTE GOOD which made me want to have a real slice of it even more!

Mile-High Lemon Meringue Pie Is Supposed To Look Something Like This...
Then Came Martha Stewart's Cupcakes Book
Then came Martha Stewart's Cupcakes book which I wrote a review of. You can read the complete review by clicking right here or order your personal copy from Amazon by clicking here. The book is selling for $10 off the cover price; I don't think you'll beat that.
Anyway, a good cookbook review is going to have to talk about the recipes and so I picked a few to test and, as I perused the pages, I stumbled across the Lemon Meringue Cupcake recipe...
What would you do?
Rule Number 1
(you'll be glad to know it is
the only rule on this page)
is, as my 17-year old son would say,
"Read the entire recipe
before you begin!"
Without further ado or to do,
here, in three parts, is the recipe for
Martha Stewart's Lemon Cupcakes...
Lemon Curd Recipe
(Makes 2 cups)
8 large egg yolks
2 lemons, zested
1/2 cup lemon juice and
2 tbsps lemon juice (approximately 3 lemons)
1 cup sugar
1/8 tsp salt
1 1/4 sticks (10 tbsps) cold unsalted butter which has been cut into pieces
Instructions::
- In a small, heavy-bottomed pot, combine the egg yolks, lemon zest, lemon juice and sugar and whisk them together. Stir constantly until the mixture is thick, between 8 and 10 minutes and registers 160 degrees on an instant-read thermometer.
- Remove pot and add salt and butter, one piece at a time. (The butter, not the salt!) Stirring until melted, each time.
- Strain the curd.
- Cover with plastic making sure that the plastic is pressed onto the surface of the curd which will keep a skin from forming.
- Refrigerate at least one hour or up to one day. Making this the day before would certainly spread the work out a bit.
Lemon Meringue Cupcakes Recipe
(Makes 24 cupcakes.)
3 cups flour (all-purpose)
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 c (2 sticks or 1/2 cup) unsalted butter at room temperature
2 cups sugar
4 large eggs
Grated zest of 3 lemons (3 tbsps)
2 tbsps lemon juice
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup buttermilk
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
- Line muffin tins with cupcake liners.
- Whisk flour, baking powder and salt together.
- Mix butter and sugar together at medium speed.
- Add eggs one at a time and wait until the egg is all mixed in before adding the next one.
- Add zest and vanilla.
- Add flour mixture in three batches with two batches of buttermilk and lemon juice in between. Beat until just combined after each addition.
- Place batter in lined cups filling about three-quarters full.
- Bake until golden, cake tester comes out clean or about 25 minutes.
- Cool completely before removing from the muffin tins.
- These cupcakes can be stored overnight at room temperature or frozen for up to two months.
Seven Minute Frosting Masquarading as Lemon Meringue Recipe
(Makes a lot.)
1 1/2 cups plus 2 tbsps sugar
2/3 cup water
2 tbsps light corn syrup
6 large egg whites at room temperature
- Combine 1 1/2 cups sugar with the water and corn syrup in a small pot.
- Attach a candy thermometer to your pot.
- Boil over a medium heat, stirring until the sugar is dissolved.
- Continue boiling but do not stir anymore.
- When syrup is 230 degrees, remove from heat.
- Meanwhile
Whisk egg whites on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. (I used my stand mixer's regular beaters as it does not have a whisk.) - With mixer running, gradually add 2 tbsps sugar.
- When syrup reaches the required temperature, gradually add it to the mixing bowl with the mixer on a medium-low speed.
- Raise speed to medium high and whisk until cool. (The bottom of the bowl wil be cool to touch.) Stiff peaks will form and it will take approximatey 7 minutes.

And It Would Be Really Nice To Have An Excellent Instant-Read Thermometer Like Amazon's Best, The Thermapen
You'll Need The Original Super-Fast Thermapen Instant Read Thermometer by Thermoworks
Thermapen Instant Read Thermometer (RED) - Thermoworks
Amazon Price: $94.95 (as of 11/28/2009)
I was reluctant to add this instant read thermometer because of its cost. However, when I realized that it had far more 5-star customer reviews on Amazon than any other similar thermometer and when I read the quality of those reviews, I decided to add it anyway. If you are looking for what might well be considered the 'best' thermometer, this may be it.
It is fast and reads the temperature in less than four seconds, it measures temperatures from -58 degrees F to 572 degrees F and it displays them in large, easy-to-read numbers. It is accurate and meets the USDA guidelines. The probe folds away to protect it from being broken.
Amazon Customer Reviews:
"I've tried plenty of other cheaper digitals. If I'd bought the Thermapen first I'd have saved a lot of money." - JR
"This Thermapen is a Godsend! Takes five seconds to register the temp, is comfortable to hold and easy to read." - City Girl
"I'm a tool junkie and have bought more than my share of fancy thermometers over the years. They're all garbage, like using a sun dial instead of a watch. The Thermapen is gold." - Curtis Melville
Finally, A Kitchen Torch Allows You To Add The Finishing Touch To These Cupcakes
BonJour Chef's Torch with Fuel Gauge, Brushed Aluminum
Amazon Price: $24.99 (as of 11/28/2009)
Bonjour's chef's torch will allow you to create beautiful, restaurant style desserts. It is an essential tool for creme brule and useful for other desserts that require browning like these lemon meringue cupcakes. It is even good for jobs like melting cheese. It is Amazon's top rated kitchen torch.

Have you made Martha's Stewart's Mile High Lemon Meringue Cupcakes?
What Did I Do?
What do you think? Should I have chosen these lemon cupcakes as one to be tested or should I simply have let the idea of mile-high lemon meringue go? Well, I went for it and...
~~ The cupcakes turned out fine!
~~ The lemon curd was amazing!
~~ The meringue/seven-minute frosting, delicious!
Before We Go On,
You Should Know That I Have Always
Considered The Appearance of Food
To Take A Backseat to The Taste
And So, The Moment of Truth Arrived...
(Making food look like the pictures is always the hard part for me.)
Yes, it was now time to assemble the three separate parts of these cupcakes and brown them with my kitchen blow torch. Uh oh, did someone say blow torch? (See Rule Number 1.) Of course, I do not own a kitchen blow torch so here I was, at a difficult moment.
What to do? It didn't seem like the cupcakes would be complete if I didn't brown them so...
I risked it. I had two pans of cupcakes. I thought well I'll assemble one pan and put them under the broiler. If they're ruined, I will still have the second pan to work with.
It worked, sort of. Because of my expert decorating, the meringue on each cupcake was at a different height which meant that some were trying to burn while others were not brown yet so I had to monitor them closely. The result? Some brown spots, some white spots, as the pictures show.

"When fate hands you a lemon, make cupcakes."
Helpful Cupcake Hints From Martha and Brenda
- Brenda warns that lemons can be expensive so you might want to choose to make these cupcakes when lemons are on sale. The day I was shopping for lemons, they were two for $1.00 which was not too bad but I thought I needed 9 (you actually need 6). I was lucky and able to purchase bagged lemons with more than I needed at a lower cost.
- Martha recommends cupcake liners; Brenda never bothers with them and did not have any difficulty removing the cupcakes from the pans so it is purely a matter of personal choice. There are, however, an endless choice of cupcake liners
available from Amazon for any theme you might be working on.
- Brenda says that it is critical that the butter be at room temperature, a little on the soft side. I have tried with cookies to use butter that isn't soft enough and it just does not work.
- Martha says that one of the biggest problems with cupcakes is over mixing so be careful not to do that!
- Brenda says that It is possible, albeit risky, to make these cupcakes without a thermometer
- Brenda did not strain the curd and could see no issues with not having done so.
- Brenda successfully used her stand mixer's regular beaters because she does not have a whisk attachment.

Will I Ever Make These Cupcakes Again? Did They Earn The Title Of The Best-Ever Lemon Cupcakes Recipe?
Now that's quite an interesting question! When I finished these cupcakes I thought oh my gosh, that was a lot of work and I'm never doing it again! So be warned that they really are a lot of work -- three recipes in one PLUS assembly.
When I ate one of them though, whether or not I would make them again was a little less clear because they were honestly absolutely the best lemon cupcake I've ever had and they were exactly like the mile-high lemon meringue pie that I have dreamed for so long of mastering.
On a scale of 10 out of 10, my 15-year old gave these cupcakes a 10; I said 12 but for a logical guy like him that is not acceptable so I guess, I'll have to say 10 as well. Appearance aside, these cupcakes were perfect. They were moist, the lemon flavor was extremely fresh and the frosting was yummy.
To sum it up in a one single, solitary word, Martha Stewart's Lemon Meringue Cupcakes are DELICIOUS!
They have most definitely earned a place in my Best-Ever Recipe Collection as The Best-Ever Lemon Cupcakes Recipe!
To answer the question? I don't honestly know if I'd make them again...maybe. Or maybe next time I'll try the strawberry cupcakes or the Boston cream pie cupcakes or the devil's food chocolate cupcakes...
Take a moment to say hello & let me know if you've shared my lemon meringue pain! Have you tried this recipe? Are you going to?

Lemon Meringue Pie Murder A Hannah Swensen Mystery
(A food-themed mystery novel.)
Lemon Meringue Pie Murder (Hannah Swensen Mysteries)
Amazon Price: $6.99 (as of 11/28/2009)
"A lemon meringue pie, two pieces cut and only one eaten , an empty bottle of wine and only one of two take-out dinners consumed-these bits of evidence set Hannah Swenson, amateur sleuth and owner of the Cookie Jar Bakery in Lake Eden, Minn., on the trail of a murderer in Fluke's fourth fun, frothy cozy. Who could have killed voluptuous Rhonda Scharf, whose half-buried body Hannah's interfering mother discovers in the basement of an old house one of Hannah's swains has just purchased? The investigation proceeds unhurriedly, with plenty of time for cookies, coffee and small-town gossip. Enticing recipes for cookies and other treats, presented with helpful procedural hints, are an extra bonus."

thanks to Martha Stewart for a great recipe
and thanks to YOU for reading all the way down

I hope it made you smile.
I am sorry to say that last night
in a quiet debate, after a tough soccer game,
the final two cupcakes
were carefully portioned into four,
weighed, measured and debated
and sadly, demolished.
They did not last long;
You should have arrived sooner.
