This Lemon Pie is AH-Mazing!! : A blog about this amazing lemon pie.

Introduction

I was looking for a good lemon pie recipe, and I found this one. It is amazing! The only thing I changed was the amount of butter, using half the amount of the original recipe. I do wish I had made a few more changes too though. This is so amazing that you should definitely try it!

The filling is made with eggs, sugar and lemon zest. The graham cracker crust was a little crumbly, but I think next time I will use a store-bought crust, which would probably be much sturdier.

I’m not much of a baker so this was kind of nerve wracking for me to make, but it turned out great. It’s sweet but not overly so and the tartness of the lemon balances nicely with all that sweetness from the pie filling.

The only thing I changed was the amount of butter, using half the amount of the original recipe.

I’ve taken some liberties with the original recipe and have made a few adjustments. Here are my suggestions:

Use half the amount of butter
Use half the amount of sugar
Use half the amount of flour
Use half the amount of eggs (I used 4 large eggs instead)
And finally, use half the amount of lemon juice (I think I used about 1/2 cup).

I do wish I had made a few more changes too though.

I would have used more lemon juice. The tartness of the pie was great, but I think it could have been even better.
I would have increased the amount of sugar slightly. This pie is sweet, but not overly so—and I like my desserts on the sweeter side!
I would have used a different crust recipe. The crust was delicious and crunchy, but didn’t exactly match up to what you’d get at a restaurant or bakery (or even in most grocery stores). It’s still really good though! And if you’re new to baking pies yourself, don’t be afraid to experiment with different variations until you find something that works best for your tastes/kitchen equipment/time constraints.
Finally: next time around I’ll definitely make a bigger pie! My husband devoured half of this one by himself within 24 hours (our puppy helped out too). We both loved it so much that we’re already talking about making another batch soon…

This is so amazing that you should definitely try it!

Everyone who tries this lemon pie is amazed at how good it is. You will be too! And not only that, but you’ll want to make it again and share it with your friends. If you are one of those people who likes to try new things and experiment in the kitchen, then this recipe is for you!

Life needs more lemon pie.

Life needs more lemon pie. This is a fact. I’ve been making this recipe for years, and it’s the only way I’ve found to make life better.

It’s so easy to make! You’ll need:

1 prepared pie shell (I like Marie Callender’s lemon meringue)
2 cups of sugar
3/4 cup flour
1/2 cup butter (or margarine) cut into 1-inch pieces

Conclusion

I hope you’re as excited about this lemon pie as I am! I know it sounds like a lot of work, but trust me when I tell you that it’s worth it. Not only is the flavor incredible, but there’s something really special about making your own food at home. Plus, if you make it yourself then you don’t have to worry about any additives or preservatives being added into your food.
