A great
lemon pie is a wonderful
dessert for a festive summer
picnic or
party. This is not lemon
meringue pie, just lemon pie--and it's very sunny and
yellow and
solar-oriented, especially when topped by optional
orange slices. This particular pie is suggested for
Midsummer celebrations, and the recipe was created by the mother of well-known Pagan author
Edain McCoy.
Ingredients:
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 375º F. Put the pie shell in a deep-dish pan. Mix the dry ingredients together, then add in the eggs, milk, butter, juice, and lemon peel. Beat until smooth. (You might need an electric mixer, but possibly not.) Pour into the pie shell and bake about 40 minutes until golden brown. Make sure that if you decide to use a second pie shell over the top, you seal it well around the edges (crimping the sides if desired!) and that you cut steam holes in the top layer so it doesn't explode! Top with orange slices for an added solar touch.
Yield: 1 pie
