Tips:

  • Use fresh lemons for the best flavor. If you only have bottled lemon juice, add an extra tablespoon or two to compensate for the lack of zest.
  • Make sure the butter is softened to room temperature before creaming it with the sugar. This will help to ensure a smooth and creamy filling.
  • Don't overbeat the egg yolks. Overbeating can make them tough and rubbery.
  • If you don't have a double boiler, you can make a makeshift one by placing a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will help the filling to set and the crust to become flaky.
