Spiritual and Emotional Cleansing Spell

For these little hand pies you’ll need:

Crust:
1 Tbs sugar
1 tsp salt
10 Tbs cold butter
2 egg yolks
4 Tbs ice water
2 cups flour

Filling:
3 egg yolks (save whites for meringue)
3/4 cups water
2/3 cup sugar
3 Tbs cornstarch
pinch of salt
juice and zest of two lemons
1 Tbs butter
a handful of dandelion flower petals

Meringue:
3 egg whites
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
1/4 cup sugar
pinch of salt
1/4 tsp vanilla extract

Begin by making the crust. To do it quickly combine all of the crust ingredients in a food processor and mix until the mixture is crumbly. Then press the dough together and roll it out into a thin sheet, cutting out small circles with a cookie cutter. Set circles on a cookie sheet to chill in the fridge while working on other steps.

To make the filling whisk together the egg yolks in a bowl and set them aside. Combine the water, sugar, cornstarch, salt, zest, and juice in a small saucepan and whisk over medium heat. Once the mixture begins to bubble and thicken slowly pour a bit of it over the egg yolks, mixing continuously. Once the yolks have come to the temperature of the other mixture add them to the saucepan. Stir over medium heat until the mixture thickens and bubbles. Pull off heat and add butter and dandelion petals. Set aside.

To make the Meringue mix the egg whites with the cream of tartar in a medium bowl. Whisk with a hand mixer until stiff peaks form. Add in the remaining ingredients and continue to beat the mixture until it forms glossy peaks and sugar graduals can no longer be felt when you pinch the mix between two fingers.

Pull the crust out of the fridge and spoon a bit of the filling on top. Add a generous dollop of meringue and pop them in the oven at 350 for about 15 minutes. I hope you enjoy it!

Best when served cold but still absolutely delicious straight out of the oven!
