Instructions
- Grease an 8x8 baking dish with butter
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. (175 degrees C).
- Cream butter and sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add almond extract and mix in. Add flour and mix until a crumbly dough forms. Press into the bottom of the baking dish. Bake for 20-25 minutes until lightly browned.
- While the crust is baking, make filling. Add blueberry pie mix into a small saucepan with lemon juice. Bring to a boil, stirring often, and then remove from heat.
- Make meringue by whisking egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Continue whisking and add powdered sugar a tablespoon at a time until stiff, glossy peaks form.
