Tart lemon pie made with traditional lemon curd in a freshly-baked crust1 batch lemon curd1 prepared flaky pastry crust
2-3 cup dried beans
First, you need to 'blind bake' the crust, which means baking it before pouring in the filling. That way the bottom stays crispy and delicious.
Roll the crust out and place it in the pie pan. Place a piece of waxed paper over it, then gently pour in the dried beans. Bake in preheated oven at 375° for about 15 minutes until the edges are just barely brown - no more.
Remove from oven and let stand 5 minutes. Remove the beans, then fill your pie!
I'm sad because this pie looks so lovely but the recipe seems to have been cut off in the middle...
