Yield Makes one 11-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 large lemons
4 cups granulated sugar
Pate Brisee to Make One Double-Crust 10-Inch Pie or 12 Hand Pies
9 eggs, well beaten
2 egg whites, beaten with a fork

Steps:

  • Wash and cut 2 of the lemons into paper-thin slices. It is very important to slice the lemons as thinly as possible; use a very sharp knife or an electric meat slicer, if on is available. Remove peel and pith of remaining lemons; slice the flesh very, very thinly, and put it with the other slices in a large mixing bowl. Add sugar, and toss well to coat. Cover bowl with plastic wrap, and let the mixture rest overnight, stirring occasionally.
  • The next day, preheat oven to 450 degrees. Press one circle of pastry into an 11-inch pie plate and chill.
  • Add beaten eggs to the lemon mixture, and mix well. Turn mixture into prepared pie shell, neatly arranging some of the lemon slices on top. Cut long, even slashes 1 inch apart in the other pastry round, and place on top of filling. Crimp edges of the pie to seal. Brush top and edges with egg-white glaze. Bake for 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees and continue baking for 30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and shiny. Let cool on a rack before serving.

Yield Makes one 9-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 medium lemons
2 cups sugar
Pastry for a 9-inch single-crust pie, such as Barry Maiden's Butter/Shortening Piecrust
4 eggs, beaten well
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Using your sharpest knife (a serrated knife is ideal), trim each lemon to remove the stem end and tip. Slice each lemon crosswise, as thinly as you can possibly do it, into paper-thin circles. If you can drape them over the knife blade like the watches in Salvador Dali's surrealistic paintings, you're on the right track. Scoop up as much of the escaping lemon juices as you work, and add them to the bowl of sliced lemons.
  • Chop the thinly sliced lemons coarsely, so that the largest pieces of lemon rind and pith are only 1 inch long, again gathering escaping juices back into the bowl for their flavor.
  • Add the sugar to the bowl of lemons, and stir to mix them together really well. Cover and set aside at room temperature, for at least 3 hours and as long as overnight. Stir occasionally with a big spoon, to mix everything together well.
  • Heat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a 9-inch pie pan with crust, leaving a 1-inch overhang.
  • Add the eggs, flour, and salt to the bowl of sugary lemons. Stir to mix everything evenly and well. Pour this filling into the piecrust.
  • Use a little water to wet the top rim of pastry around the piecrust. Roll the remaining dough into a 10-inch circle and place it carefully over the filling. Trim away the extra pastry, leaving a 1-inch overhang extending beyond the rim of the pie pan. Fold the crust up and over, and crimp it decoratively. Or press the tines of a fork into the pastry rim, working around the pan to make a design. Cut 8 steam vents in the top of the pie, so that steam can escape and the pie's juices can bubble up.
  • Place the pie on a baking sheet and place it on the middle shelf of the oven. Bake for 15 minutes. Reduce the heat to 375 degrees F and bake until the filling is bubbling and thickened, and the pastry crust is cooked and handsomely browned, 25 to 35 minutes more. Place the pie on a cooling rack or a folded kitchen towel and let cool to room temperature.

LEMON SHAKER PIE RECIPE BY TASTY



Lemon Shaker Pie Recipe by Tasty image

Easy peasy, lemon squeezy! This pie is full of lemon flavor--whole Meyer lemons are sliced and macerated in sugar to soften, then enrobed in a rich filling and baked between two thin, buttery crusts for a pie that is tart, sweet, and sure to put a smile on your face.

Provided by Betsy Carter

Time 6h10m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 medium meyer lemons
2 cups sugar, divided, plus 1 tablespoon
4 large eggs, beaten
½ stick unsalted butter, melted
3 tablespoons all purpose flour, plus more for dusting
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 pie crust, formed into a disc and chilled
1 large egg yolk
¼ teaspoon water
lemon twist, for serving
powdered sugar, for serving

Steps:

  • Zest and thinly slice the lemons into rounds, removing any seeds.
  • Add the lemon zest and slices and 2 cups (400 g) sugar to a large bowl. Stir to coat the lemon slices well. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and macerate in the refrigerator for 4 hours, or up to overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Add the beaten eggs, melted butter, flour, and salt to the lemon mixture and stir until fully incorporated.
  • On a lightly floured surface, divide the disc of pie dough in half. Working 1 portion at a time, form into a smaller disc and roll out into a circle about ⅛ inch (3mm) thick. Drape 1 dough round in a 9-inch (23 cm) pie dish. Fill the pie dough with the lemon mixture, then top with the other dough round. Trim any excess dough around the edges, press the edges together and crimp to seal.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and water until fully combined.
  • Brush the top of the pie with the egg wash and sprinkle with the remaining tablespoon of sugar. Cut 4 small decorative slits in the center of the pie to vent.
  • Place the pie dish on a rimmed baking sheet and transfer to the oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the crust begins to brown.
  • Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (180°C) and bake the pie for 22-24 minutes more, or until the crust is shiny and deep golden brown.
  • Let the pie cool for 45-60 minutes before slicing and serving.
  • Top each slice with a lemon twist and dust with powdered sugar.
  • Enjoy!

SHAKER LEMON PIE



Shaker Lemon Pie image

This is the Runner-Up recipe for 1986 in the San Francisco Chronicle, by Marion Cunningham. Only three ingredients go into this old-fashioned Shaker dessert: lemon slices - peel and all - sugar and eggs. The filling is more like marmalade than pie filling and may take some getting used to. Serve wedges warm - not hot - or at room temperature with vanilla ice cream.

OHIO SHAKER LEMON PIE



Ohio Shaker Lemon Pie image

Categories     Egg     Dessert     Bake     Thanksgiving     Lemon     Gourmet

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 lemons
1 3/4 cups sugar
paˆte brisée
4 large eggs
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan of boiling water blanch the lemons for 30 seconds, drain them, and rinse them under cold water. Trim the ends of the lemons, discarding them, and cut the lemons crosswise into paper-thin slices. In a bowl cover the lemon slices with the sugar and let the mixture stand, stirring once after 1 hour, for 8 hours or overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 425°F. Roll out half the dough 1/8 inch thick on a lightly floured surface, fit it into a 9-inch (1-quart) pie plate, and trim the edge, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang. Remove the lemon slices from the sugar and arrange them in the shell. Add the eggs and salt to the sugar, whisk the mixture until it is combined well, and pour it over the lemon slices.
  • Roll out the remaining dough into a 12-inch round on a lightly floured surface, drape it over the filling, and trim it, leaving a 1-inch overhang. Fold the overhang under the bottom crust, pressing the edge to seal it, and crimp the edge decoratively. Cut slits in the crust with a sharp knife, forming steam vents, and bake the pie in the middle of the oven for 25 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 350°F. and bake the pie for 20 to 25 minutes more, or until the crust is golden. Let the pie cool on a rack and serve it warm at room temperature.

Tips:

  • To make the perfect flaky pie crust, use cold butter and ice water. Work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs. Avoid overworking the dough, as this will make the crust tough.
  • When rolling out the dough, use a light touch and avoid over-rolling. This will help prevent the crust from shrinking in the oven.
  • Before filling the pie crust, pre-bake it for 10-12 minutes. This will help prevent the bottom crust from becoming soggy.
  • When making the lemon filling, use fresh lemons for the best flavor. Be sure to zest the lemons before juicing them, as the zest adds a lot of flavor to the pie.
  • When adding the eggs to the lemon filling, whisk them together first. This will help prevent the eggs from curdling.
  • After baking the pie, allow it to cool completely before serving. This will help the filling set and prevent it from being runny.

Conclusion:

Shaker-style sliced lemon pie is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its flaky crust, tangy lemon filling, and sweet meringue topping, this pie is sure to be a hit. Follow these tips to make the perfect Shaker-style sliced lemon pie:
  • Use cold butter and ice water to make the pie crust.
  • Roll out the dough lightly and avoid over-rolling.
