List of Ingredients

PASTRY:
1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature
1/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1 1/2 cups flour

FILLING:
1/2 stick unsalted butter
4 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon grated lemon rind
2/3 cup fresh lemon juice


Recipe

Pastry: Beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add egg and flour, mixing until smooth dough is formed. With hands, shape into a ball and flatten into a disc. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Make pastry and roll or press dough evenly over bottom and up sides of 9" pie plate. Melt butter in microwave and set aside.

Whisk eggs and sugar in medium-size bowl until blended. Add peel and slowly stir in butter and lemon juice until incorporated. Pour into crust. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until top of custard is lightly browned. It will not test clean and will look underdone, but will set up as it cools. Once cool, refrigerate. Before serving, sprinkle powdered sugar on top.
