Lemon Pie

Lemon Pie is one of the easiest sweet pies to make. It can be prepared on the basis of shortbread, puff, butter or yeast dough; closed or open. All these lemon pies have two properties in common: a pleasant sweet and sour taste and a very rich fresh aroma.

Ingredients

• 500 g flour + a little more for rolling out
• 300 g sour cream
• 200 g butter
• 5 g soda
• 10 ml vinegar
• 300 g lemon
• 200 g sugar
• 10 g starch
• 1 yolk
• powdered sugar for serving

Directions

1. Combine sifted flour and sour cream in a bowl. Stir. Mix baking soda with vinegar and add to flour mixture. Grate the cold butter on a coarse grater and mix, adding in portions, with the prepared mixture.
2. Grate the lemon on a coarse grater, removing the seeds. Mix with sugar and starch to tighten the filling. It shouldn't be too liquid.
3. Divide the dough into 3 parts. Two pieces should be 200 g each. Roll them into thin round layers. The diameter of each circle should be 1.5 cm larger than the diameter of your shape.
4. Place the lemon filling on one layer. Cover with the second, pinch the edges with a neat braid. From the remaining small piece of dough, roll out a strip 1.5 cm wide. Wrap it around the cake, making a new pinch every 5 mm. Brush the surface of the pie with whipped yolk. Bake in the oven at 180 ° C for 20 minutes. Cool slightly.
