Yeast Lemon Pie
Ingredients
- Wheat Flour 2½ cups
- Sugar 1 cup
- Lemon 1 piece
- Margarine 5 oz
- Dry yeast 2 teaspoons
- Chicken Egg 1 piece
Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Finely chop the margarine with half of the flour. Dissolve the yeast in half a cup of warm water. Make a mound with the margarine and flour, crack 1 egg into it, knead the dough, add the yeast and the remaining flour. Roll into a ball and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Step 2
Boil the lemon for 5 minutes in boiling water, cool, cut into large pieces, and remove the seeds. Pass it through a meat grinder along with the zest, or use a blender. Mix with 1 cup of sugar, and if it’s too runny, you can add a tablespoon of starch — the filling is ready.
Step 3
Preheat the oven to 390°F. Roll out ¾ of the dough thinly, leaving 3-4 cm on each side for the edges. Roll out the remaining part — this will be the top — thinly and make decorative cuts. Its size should be slightly smaller than the baking tray. Spread the filling on the rolled-out dough, cover with the decorative part, fold the edges, and ensure they sit well.
Step 4
Bake for 7-10 minutes at 390°F, then for another 20-25 minutes at 250°F.
