HELP

i know nothing can be done now but ive made a terrible booboo

just made from scratch a lemon meringue pie
so all the ingredients are way too much to just throw in the bin

all went well
BUT as i put my meringue on top i nioticed it felt a bit wet and soft

have put the pie in teh oven and now just realized i had some kind of brain storm

i used three egg whites but only 4 oz caster sugar

it should be 6!!


what do you think will happen?
will it be edible?
am contemlating taking it out of oven and scraping meringue topping off and starting again
what do you think?

My guess is it will be fine, maybe not as sweet as usual. I personally would just leave it to cook. :')

thanks

update:
its fine
cant taste or see a difference
might always cut down on the sugar a bit from now on then : )

Hooray!

May have a go at reducing the sugar myself next time I make one!
