Lemon Pie
The taste of this pie is built on contrasts: a sweet shell of chocolate shortcrust pastry and a sour citrus filling. Although lemons are ground together with the peel, there is not a hint of bitterness in the filling. The lemon filling shortcrust pie can be baked in advance; after a day of steeping, it becomes even tastier. The hot pastry will crumble in your hands with a light touch, while the cold pie will become 'monumental': the lemon filling will set to a jelly-like density, the shortcrust shell will remain crisp, yet it will easily yield to a knife.The rested lemon filling pie made of shortcrust pastry can be cut into both thin and thick pieces.
