Tips:
- Use fresh lemons for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can substitute bottled lemon juice, but the flavor won't be as good.
- Make sure the butter is cold when you add it to the flour. This will help create a flaky crust.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the crust tough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before you roll it out. This will help prevent the crust from shrinking.
- Bake the pie in a preheated oven. This will help ensure that the crust is cooked through.
- Let the pie cool completely before you serve it. This will help the filling set.
Conclusion:
This Mom's Triple-Layer Lemon Pie is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The flaky crust, creamy lemon filling, and fluffy meringue topping are all perfectly balanced, and the pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. With a little planning and effort, you can make this delicious pie at home. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed.
