LEMON SPONGE PIE RECIPE - (4.4/5)



Lemon Sponge Pie Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by theinletgirl

Number Of Ingredients 10

9 " Pie Crust
3 Tbsp butter softened
1 and 1/2 cups of granulated sugar
4 egg yolks
3 Tbsp of all-purpose flour
a pinch of salt
1 and 1/4 cup of milk
2 Tbsp of grated lemon zest
1/3 cup of lemon juice
4 egg whites

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees f. Cream the butter and sugar together. Beat the next 6 ingredients into the creamed mixture. In another bowl, beat the egg whites till stiff but not dry. Fold the egg whites into the filling and pour mixture into an unbaked pie shell. Bake at 375 degrees for 15 minutes and then reduce the temperature to 300 degrees. Cook for an additional 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in pie comes out clean.

Tips:

  • Use fresh lemons for the best flavor. Bottled lemon juice can be used, but it will not produce as good of a flavor.
  • Grate the lemon zest before juicing the lemons. This will help release the essential oils and give the pie a more intense lemon flavor.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help incorporate air into the mixture and make the pie lighter and more tender.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help prevent the mixture from curdling.
  • Fold in the flour and salt gently until just combined. Overmixing will toughen the pie crust.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pie crust and bake until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to set and firm up.

Conclusion:

This lemon sponge pie is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. The bright and tangy lemon flavor is perfectly balanced by the sweet and fluffy sponge cake. This pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
