Total Time:
125 minutes
Ingredients:
  • 2 lemons, rind grated
  • 4 lemons, peeled, white pith removed, very thinly sliced
  • 60g plain flour, sifted
  • 500g caster sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 40g unsalted butter, melted
  • 40.40 gm cream
  • Thick cream, to serve
  • 450g (3 cups) plain flour, sifted
  • 24.00 gm icing sugar
  • 185g unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 egg, beaten
Instructions:
  • For the pastry, combine flour and icing sugar in a food processor. Add butter and process until fine crumbs form. Add egg yolk and 2 tablespoons cold water, process until a smooth ball forms. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
  • Combine the lemon rind and slices, flour, sugar, eggs, butter, and cream in a bowl, stirring until well mixed. Chill in the fridge until ready to use.
  • Preheat your oven to 200°C and generously grease a 25cm pie dish.
  • Roll out the majority of the pastry and use it to line the dish. Stir the filling to ensure the sugar is evenly distributed, then pour it into the dish.
  • Roll out the leftover pastry and moisten the dish's edges with water. Top the dish with the pastry lid, pressing down the edges firmly. Trim off any extra pastry and set aside. Use a fork to create a decorative border, cut shapes out of the reserved pastry, and place on top. Cut two small slits in the lid to release steam. Brush the pastry with egg, then bake for 20 minutes. Cover with foil, continue baking for 30 minutes, and allow to cool. Enjoy with a side of cream.
