In a large bowl, add the flour, salt, sugar, vanilla extract, egg yolk and diced butter.
Beat the cold butter into the flour mixture using a hand mixer, until sandy consistency forms.
Add the cold water into the mixture and mix to start forming the dough.
Let the dough chill in your fridge for about 20 minutes.
Let the dough chill while you make the filling.
Begin preheating your oven to 400° F or 190° C.
On a flour dusted working surface, roll out the dough into ½ inch thickness. Then place it in a pie pan, forming it to the pan. Poke the pie shell in various places using a fork and place it in the freezer for 15 minutes.
Bake the pie in the pre-heated oven for about 15 minutes or until golden brown, then set it aside to let it cool completely.
CBD Lemon Pie Filling
In a bowl whisk the cornstarch, egg yolks, flour, vanilla extract, sugar, and a little bit of the water.
Place the rest of the water in a saucepan and place it on your stove at medium-high heat.
When the water is almost coming to a boil, add the egg yolk mixture and start whisking with wire whisk constantly, until it thickens.
Remove the sauce pan from the heat and add the lemon juice, lemon zest, butter, and the Simply Add CBD™ Baking Oil. Stir until combined and fully incorporated.Important: Mix thoroughly at this step for a few extra minutes to ensure the Simply Add CBD™ Baking Oil is dispersed throughout the mixture. This will ensure each slice of CBD lemon meringue pie has an even dosage of CBD.
Cover the bowl with this CBD lemon pie filling with plastic wrap. Set it aside to cool completely.
Pour the chilled filling into the pie crust and smooth it out evenly.
Meringue Topping
Whip the egg whites and gradually add the sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
Spread the whipped merengue on top of the pie.
(optional) Use a torch and lightly pass over the top of the whipped meringue topping peaks.
Place the pie in the fridge to cool for a minimum of 4 hours.
Enjoy your Simply Add CBD™ Lemon Meringue Pie!
