I don't normally post recipes, but a friend shared this one with me today and it's delightful. If there are any budding pastry chefs in the crowd, you'll want to try this one.
Oh, and no, that's not a picture of the actual pie I cooked. Most of the pie I cooked is gone!
Sippity Sup's Lemon Pie Cake
Cook Time: 40 min
Ingredients
2 tablespoons unsalted organic butter, melted
1 1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup flour
Pinch of salt
Zest of 1 lemon
Juice of 2 lemons
3 organic eggs, seperated
1 1/4 cup milk
Premade piecrust
Directions
1) Preheat oven to 375. Put premade piecrust into a greased pie pan and crimp edges
2) Stir the butter and sugar together. Add dry ingredients, zest and juice.
3) In a seperate bowl, beat the egg yolks and milk together. Add to the lemon mixture.
4) In a standing mixer (or with an electric mixer), beat the egg whites until they hold firm but moist peaks. Fold into the lemon mixture. Be careful not to mix them too much!
5) Pour the filling into the crust and bake for about 40 mins, or until the top is browned and the center only slightly jiggles when the pan is gently shaken. Cool before serving.
