Lemon Meringue Pie

Instructions

1. Squish ½-inch chunks of butter between your fingers to make the pie dough.
2. Add ⅔ cup of ice water to hydrate the dough.
3. Smash the dough together, cut it into quarters, stack them up, and press them down to create layers.
4. Blind-bake the pie crust until it's brown all over.
5. On the stove, stir together sugar, water, cornstarch, eggs, egg yolks, lemon juice, and lemon zest to make the filling.
6. Pour the filling into the crust and chill for two hours until the curd sets.
7. Pipe or plop the meringue over the top of the pie.
8. Brûlée the meringue using a kitchen torch.
