CRUST:

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.
