My lemon meringue pie recipe is absolutely irresistible. The flaky butter crust is filled with smooth tangy lemon deliciousness, then topped off with a gorgeous amount of fluffy, lightly sweet meringue.

1 c unsalted butter ( cold, cut into pea-sized pieces )

A few Tbsp ice water
Vegetable shortening for greasing pie pan
Lemon Filling:
