This recipe sounded good, but trying to follow it was confusing.
The ingredients are not in the normal logical order. Then, when I finally get to the meringue (when I figure out exactly where the instructions for the meringue start), it calls for vanilla which doesn’t even appear on the ingredients list!
Overall, the way the recipe is written makes this pie a lot more work than is necessary.
It was tasty though.
