Montgomery Lemon Pie Recipes

Steps:

• Layer 1: Beat ingredients until smooth. Pour into unbaked pie shell
• Layer 2: Beat together soft butter and egg. Add sugar and baking powder. Alternately add milk and flour. Beat until smooth. Spoon mixture over first layer.
• Bake at 350 degrees F for 35 to 40 minutes.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, cornstarch, flour and salt. Gradually stir in water. Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened and bubbly. Reduce heat; cook and stir 2 minutes more. Remove from the heat. Gradually stir 1 cup of hot mixture into egg yolks; return all to saucepan. Bring to boil. Cook and stir for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat. Stir in the butter, lemon juice and zest until smooth. Pour into pastry shell. In a bowl, beat egg whites and salt until stiff but not dry peaks are formed. Gradually beat in sugar until soft peaks form. Spread over pie, sealing edges to pastry. Bake at 350° for 12-15 minutes or until meringue is golden. Cool. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator.

Steps:

• Make the crust: On a lightly floured work surface, roll pate brisee to a 13-inch round, about 1/8 inch thick. Fit into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim edge, and crimp as desired. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line crust with parchment and fill with pie weights or dried beans; bake until crust is set, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove pie weights and parchment, and continue to bake until bottom of crust is lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack. Increase oven temperature to 425 degrees.
• Make the bottom layer: Whisk to combine brown sugar and flour in a small bowl. In a medium bowl, whisk egg; add molasses and lemon zest and juice and whisk to combine. Add water, whisking until thoroughly combined. Set aside while you prepare the top layer.
• Make the top layer: In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add vanilla and egg; beat until well combined. Whisk together flour and baking soda. Add buttermilk in two additions, alternating with the flour mixture, beginning and ending with the flour. Scrape down sides as needed. Pour bottom layer into cooled crust, then dollop top layer over bottom layer to cover. Bake for 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees and bake until well browned, 35 to 40 minutes more. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve with whipped cream, if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Beat ingredients for bottom layer until smooth and pour into unbaked pie shell Beat butter and one egg in a large bowl; add sugar and baking powder; then alternate adding milk and flour, about 1/3 each time. Beat until smooth, then spoon the mixture over the first layer of the pie. Bake for 50 minutes, and check with toothpick for doneness. Make sure toothpick just checks the top layer for doneness, since the bottom will remain gooey. Cool on wire rack before serving. This pie keeps it shape better if you wait until it is completely cool before cutting it.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
• 2. BOTTOM LAYER: Thoroughly combine molasses, sugar, egg, water, flour, lemon juice and zest. Pour the batter into the unbaked pie shell; set the pie aside.
• 3. TOP LAYER: Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the egg and beat thoroughly. Sift the remaining flour and baking soda together and then add it to the creamed mixture alternately with the buttermilk. Mix until well blended. Add it to the pie shell, spreading it evenly over the bottom layer.
• 4. Place the pie shell in the oven, and bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until the top is lightly browned across the entire surface. Let cool completely before serving.

Steps:

• Combine sugar, milk, butter, lemon juice, egg yolks, cornstarch, and lemon zest in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thick, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat, cover, and let cool, about 30 minutes.
• Fold in sour cream; pour into the baked pie crust. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
• Beat egg whites, sugar, and cornstarch together in a bowl using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Spread meringue on top of filling, right up to the edge of the crust.
• Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
• Broil in the preheated oven until meringue is lightly browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place sugar, eggs, and lemon juice in a blender; blend until smooth, about 3 minutes.
• Pour melted butter into the blender and blend for 30 seconds more.
• Transfer lemon filling to the pastry shell.
• Bake in the preheated oven until filling is just set, 30 to 35 minutes. Allow pie to rest until completely set before serving, about 15 minutes more.
