I don’t believe this. I didn’t expect it to snow this soon!
 
Lemon Meringue pie. Hopefully, not lemon soup meringue pie.

Yes, the meringue is NOT pretty.

Other than the mixer not spinning the beaters fast enough, what else could it be? It's probably 20 years old, but I have never been able to whip egg whites stiff with my hand mixer, not even when it was brand new. It's a KitchenAid, so not an off brand.

Does the shape of the bowl matter? If I used a smaller bowl, the puddle of 3 egg whites would be a bit deeper. Would that help?

Anyway, hubby doesn't care. :) It'a more a matter of personal pride, to have a pretty pie.

(With a store bought crust) :oops:

I was just going to say how pretty the meringue is when I read your post! It looks delicious all toasted; not ugly at all!

Are you using a glass bowl or metal? You also have to make sure everything is very clean when making meringue or it won't whip up. I clean everything beforehand with white vinegar or lemon juice. Here is a helpful troubleshooting guide:
