Lemon Meringue Pie Cupcakes

I made this lemon meringue pie cupcakes yesterday because I really needed to bake some of these cuties...and what a better way to enjoy a warm afternoon than with something really citric...mmmm....this is how they look on the inside:

Can you see it??....it was soooo delicious!

Ingredients:

Cupcakes: (makes about 30)

- 3 cups flour

- 2 cups sugar

- 1 tbsp baking powder

- 3/4 tsp salt

- 4 large eggs

- 1 cup room tº milk

- 1 cup butter at room tº

- 2 tsp vanilla extract

Directions:

- Mix flour, sugar, baking powder and salt until well combined, you can do it with your electric mixer if you want.

- In a large measurement bowl whisk the eggs, milk and vanilla...then add it slowly to the dry misture and beat until all the ingredients are well combined.

- Divide the batter evenly among the liners, about 1/3 and make a hole in the middle, like this:

Then in the middle of the hole add about a teaspoon of the lemon mixture.

Ingredients:

- 1/2 can condensed milk

- 1/4 cup lemon juice

- 2 egg yolks

Directions:

- Mix the condensed milk and lemon juice for about a minute and then add the egg yolks, mix until well combined. And now you can fill your cupcake.

When they´re done put then in the oven for about 20 minutes or until golden.

This is how they look when they´re ready....mmmm....but there´s one thing missing....

The meringue! Beat 4 egg whites until hard peaks are formed and add syrup (6 tbsp sugar and 6 tbsp water, bring it to a boil until thick). And beat well until it is cooled (7 minutes aprox). Finally add some icing sugar (1/4 cup) and beat for another minute.

Decorate your cupcakes!

And for a final touch use your kitchen blowtorch if you have one....but if you don´t then don´t worry....because they look good anyway.

But is so fun to burn them ahahahahaha!

And one last one picture......awww...so cute! Hope you like them.
