Food Porn: Texas Big Hairs

by Nicole Weston, Posted Aug 24th 2006 @ 11:03AM

When we featured The Pastry Queen Cookbook last week, I remarked upon how impressive the lemon-lime meringue tarts, called Texas Big Hairs, on the cover were. Little did I expect to see them in all their glory on the food blog Culinary Concoctions. The name of the tarts comes from the amount of meringue that is piled on top - and in true Texas style, bigger is better. These individual-sized tarts are more, well, tart than a typical lemon meringue pie would be because of the liberal addition of lime. They still have the perfect contrast of light, sweet meringue and velvety citrus custard, though, and the extra meringue makes each bite seem even lighter than you could hope for.
