- with lemon season upon us, it seems that every one here at
- work is bringing in their surplus harvest trying to get rid
- of it. several people have been bugging me to write up a
- recipe that will use up as many lemons as possible in a
- relatively simple manner. here, then is the result:
-
- BITTER LEMON PIE (for 9" pie)
-
- 2-3 thin skinned lemons sliced paper thin
- 2 1/4 cups sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 cup lemon juice
-
- mix the lemons and sugar and let sit for at least an hour
- whisk the lemon juice and eggs together
-
- spread the lemons in the pie shell and pour egg mixture over
- them
- cover the pie with the top crust and seal the edges.
- make several slits in the cover and bake in a pre-heated
- oven at 375 for 20 min.
- turn the temperature to 350 and continue baking for 35
- min. (if crust starts to burn, cover edges with foil)
-
- let cool for at least 30 min.
-
- CRUST
-
- 3 cups flour
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3 sticks cold butter
- 3 Tbsp ice water (very cold)
-
- mix the dry ingredients
- cut in the butter
- add just enough water to hold mixture together
-
- split into two pieces and wrap each in wax paper and
- place in freezer for 30 min.
-
- roll each piece out (one for the crust, one for the
- top)
