Easy lemon pie recipe using lemon curd on a homemade buttery crust.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 3 Tablespoons sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 egg
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 10 oz. jar of pre-made lemon curd
  • 1 1/2 cups whipped cream

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 425 degrees
  • In a medium size bowl, combine your flour, salt, sugar and baking powder. Using a pastry blender or fork, cut in ½ cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter until you have small pea size chunks of butter mixed throughout.
  • In a small liquid measuring cup, crack one egg. Then pour enough whole milk over the egg until you have ¾ cup total.
  • Making a well in the dry ingredients, slowly pour the egg and milk mixture into the flour mixture and stir until the dough comes together.
  • Using floured hands, press dough into an un-greased 10 inch pie plate, leaving the bottom plenty thick while bringing the dough up sides.
  • Spread 10 oz. of pre-made lemon curd filling onto the bottom of the pastry and bake for 12-15 minutes until you see a slight golden color on the edge and a toothpick comes clean when poked into the center of the side crust.
  • When cool enough, top with lightly sweetened whipped cream.
