Reviews
This is my very first pie. I was worried at first because the dough was so sticky, so I poured some flour to help me. Based on the previous review, I omitted the lemon peel and add some simple syrup that I made for wetting cakes before frosting. I added some baking time to get the buttery, flaky crust. It turned so good! Thanks so much!
Filling is not good - far too much lemon peel and not very sweet. If I made it again I'd omit the lemon peel and add some sugar. Crust was yummy and workable though.
