Lemon meringue pie {sans gluten – without milk}

Et si on commençait la semaine avec une recette à la fois pleine de douceur et de peps, j’ai nommé la tarte au citron ! Les fruits qui annoncent le printemps ne sont pas encore arrivés par chez nous, alors pour changer des pommes et de la tarte aux pommes il reste encore les citrons. On a tendance à un peu oublier le citron, on l’utilise dans des vinaigrettes et autre assaisonnement ou pour se faire une tisane pour la gorge, mais je dois avouer que la tarte au citron lui donne toutes ses lettres de noblesse (oui oui rien que ça !).

La tarte au citron c’est le dessert classique par excellence,

but that's not why you have to put it away in the back of the closet ! No eccentricity in this version, classic and real, just a gluten-free version which makes it even more perfect I think (no big deal for my ankles, anyway we don't wear shoes anymore !). memory of youth, the lemon meringue pie it's something that I loved to cook as a teenager and, attention petite anecdote, one day with my parents, my sister fell with my pie in her hands, flying her to the other end of the living room, we're still laughing !
