How to Make Slice Of Lemon Pie
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Press one pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 1/4 cups sugar, 1/4 cup flour, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Gradually cream in the softened butter, mixing until light and fluffy.
- Reserve 1 teaspoon of egg white; set aside.
- Beat the 2 whole eggs well and add them to the sugar mixture. Blend until smooth.
- Grate 1 teaspoon of lemon zest from the lemon.
- Thinly slice the lemon, removing all seeds.
- Add the lemon zest and 1/2 cup water to the egg/sugar mixture. Blend thoroughly.
- Gently fold in the lemon slices.
- Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust.
- Top with the second pie crust. Fold and crimp the edges to seal.
- Cut 3-4 small slits in the top crust to vent.
- Brush the top crust with the reserved egg white, avoiding the slits.
- Sprinkle the top with 1 tablespoon sugar and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. Let cool completely before serving.
