    Recipe



    CRUST: In a bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking powder, cut in butter, and shortening until mixture resembles small crumbs.  Add eggs, stir until moistened and mixture forms a ball.  Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.  On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to 10-circle.  Place in a 9" pie plate; flute crust.  Refrigerate.   

    FOR FILLING: Beat the ricotta, sugar and flour in a mixing bowl.  Add peels and salt; beat eggs until thick and lemon-colored, about 5 minutes; slowly fold into ricotta mixture.  Gently mix in remaining ingredients.  Pour into the crust.  Bake at 350 F for 55 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.    Cool: Store in the refrigerator.
