Greek countryside lemon pie by Elias Mamalakis

INGREDIENTS

500 gr flour 300 gr Horio Soft with Cow Butter at room temperature 2 eggs 1 tsp salt 2 tsp sugar water (as much as needed)

INGREDIENTS For the filling

1 tblsp lemon zest 1 cup sugar 1 shot limoncello juice of 1 lemon 300 gr water 2 tblsp corn flour

DIRECTIONS

  1. In a mixer, add the flour, salt and sugar. Mix for about 30 seconds and then add Horio Soft with Cow Butter.
  2. Mix the mixture well, at medium speed, until it seems lumpy. Add the eggs, and keep beating until the batter becomes a smooth, homogenized mixture. In case it gets too tight, add some water.
  3. Knead the batter in a ball, cover it with a plastic wrap and let it rest at the bottom of the fridge for about 1 -2 hours. Then roll out the batter into a ½ cm thick phyllo, and put it on a baking pan, greased with some Horio Soft with Cow Butter.
  4. Cover the pan with parchment paper to prevent burning the surface, and bake it in the oven for about 30-45 minutes at 180ο C. When baked, we flip the batter over.
  5. Prepare the filling: In a bowl, add sugar, limoncello, lemon juice and zest. Mix well and let the odors grow for about ½ hour.
  6. In a pot, dissolve the corn flour in some water, and warm it.
  7. Add the lemon mixture prepared in Step 5. Stir constantly and when thickened, pour it over the tart that we baked in step 4. The lemon pie is ready.

Note: Optional, beat 3 egg whites into a stiff meringue along with 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar and decorate the lemon pie on top.
