How to make American lemon pie:
Prepare the raw materials:
Main ingredients
90 grams of low-gluten flour, 60 grams of butter, 18 grams of almond flour, 15 grams of powdered sugar, 1 egg yolk.
Ingredients
120ML whipping cream, 2 eggs, 40g powdered sugar, 30ML fresh lemon juice.
Specific steps:
1. After softening the butter, add powdered sugar. Then use an electric mixer to beat the butter until it becomes fluffy and light in color.
2. Pour in 1 egg yolk and continue to beat until the egg yolk and butter are completely mixed.
3. Sift the low-gluten flour, add almond flour, and then pour the flour and almond flour into the butter.
4. Knead evenly with a spoon to form a smooth dough, then place the dough in the refrigerator for half an hour.
5. Take out the refrigerated dough and place it on a piece of plastic wrap. Cover with another piece of plastic wrap and use a rolling pin to roll out the dough into a round shape.
6. After rolling the dough to a suitable size, peel off the plastic wrap on the surface. Place the pie crust, side without cling film facing down, on the pie plate.
7. Then tear off the remaining piece of plastic wrap. Trim off excess pie crust so that it fits the pie plate completely.
8. Use a fork to poke some holes in the bottom of the pie crust to prevent the pie crust from swelling when baking.
9. Place the pie plate in the oven on the middle layer, heat up and down to 180 degrees, and bake for 20-25 minutes. Wait until the surface of the pie crust is golden brown and it is ready to be taken out of the oven.
10. You can make pie filling while baking the pie crust. Pour the light cream, eggs, egg yolks, powdered sugar, and lemon juice into a large bowl, and mix thoroughly with a whisk.
11. Put it back into the oven, on the middle layer, and heat it up and down to 160 degrees for about 30 minutes.
12. Wait until the pie filling is completely solidified, shake the pie plate gently, and when there is no fluidity in the center of the pie filling, it is ready to be taken out of the oven.
