Prepare lemon.Wash and dry lemons. Take the zest of one and slice lemons as paper thin as you can get them.Remove and discard seeds if they have. Add slices in a small bowl with the lemon zest and toss with sugar and salt. Cover and leave at room temperature for 24 hours. Occasionally stir. |
The next day the lemon slices have shed their juices and have shrunk somewhat. The bowl is sweet, aromatic and slightly bitter jouice of lemons. A delicious syrup. We can test. |
In a large bowl whisk together the 4 eggs and the yolk from 5○ egg. You keep the egg white for the coating at the end. Sift the flour with the baking powder and add the beaten eggs. |
Put the butter, melted without burning. Finally add the lemon slices with their syrup. Mix. |
Lay a fluted pie dish Ø23cm (9") with a sheet of puff pastry. Allow it to protrude 2cm (.8") outside the edge of the puff pastry. Pour the egg and lemon mixture. With a fork spread lemon slices to go everywhere around the base evenly. |
The mix is quite watery. On top sprinkle the almonds powder. |
Cover with the second sheet, pressing the edges of both sticks to unite. With a scissors cut as much excess dough and grasping it with the thumb and forefinger make small aspects. If you want, combine the dough that we cut, open a sheet and cut heart shape to decorate the surface of the pie. |
Beat the egg and brush the surface of the pie. With a sharp knife cut slits in the crust, forming steam vents. Sprinkle with coarse, blond sugar. Bake in preheated oven at 180°C (356°F, Gas 4), for 45'-50' or until cooked and the crust is golden. Let the pie cool on a rack before cut. |
