Is it possible to make a lemon pie with a top crust?

Question

Are there any recipes for it?

Answer 1

Ingredients

* 1-1/2 cups (~0.4 liter) sugar (preferably demerara or raw sugar)
* 2 tablespoons (~30 ml) all purpose flour
* 1/4 teaspoon (~1.3 ml) salt
* 1/4 cup (~60 ml) butter; softened
* 3 eggs; well beaten
* one egg white, beaten lightly
* 1/3 cup (~80 ml) water
* fresh zest of one lemon
* 2 to 3 lemons peeled (see below) and sliced thin, removing seeds as you go
* the juice leftover from lemon slicing
* a speck of cayenne pepper
* 2 unbaked crusts for a pieshell; bought or homemade
* extra sugar for sprinkling
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).First off you want to zest one lemon.Combine the sugar, flour and salt in a large mixing bowl. Then add butter, eggs, water, lemon zest, and cayenne.
Lay down the bottom crust into your piepan. Lay the lemon slices onto the crust, spreading them out evenly as you can. Pour in any juices left over from the slicing, too. The lemons are going to look lonely and puny, but fear not.
Gently pour in your filling, then cover it all with the top crust. Try to tuck the edges of the top crust underneath the upward edges of the bottom edge to seal it all together, and crimp it. (I suck at this, but I haven't had a blow out yet. Just go for it!)
Remember that beaten eggwhite in the ingredients list? Here's where it comes in. Brush it well over the top crust. It will enhance browning of the crust. If you don't have a pastry brush, a bit of folded paper towel or your fingers will do, just make sure to wash up well.
Lastly, sprinkle the pie lightly with more sugar. The eggwhite should catch it and hold it in place.
Bake 45 minutes -- Give it a few minutes to set, TUCK IN.

Answer 2

Shaker Lemon Pie

2 lemons, thinly sliced
2 cups white sugar
4 eggs, beaten
1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie

Slice the lemons and combine in a large bowl with the 2 cups sugar. Let stand for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

Add the beaten eggs and mix well. Pour into an unbaked 9 inch piecrust and cover with a top crust.

Brush the top with milk and sprinkle granulated sugar on top.
Bake at 450 degrees F (230 degrees C) for 15 minutes, then reduce heat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and bake for an additional 20 to 25 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the pie comes out clean.

Answer 3

Sure! You do not need a recipe...just double your pie crust recipe so that you have enough for the top.
