Homemade Lemon Pie

Step 1

Mix the sour cream with baking soda.

Step 2

Add melted butter to the sour cream and mix until smooth.

Step 3

Gradually start adding flour in small portions. After adding 1.5 cups, check: if the dough is sticky, add the remaining half cup. Knead the dough and divide it into 2 equal parts.

Step 4

Cut the lemons into small slices (with peel) and blend them. Mix with 1 cup of sugar.

Step 5

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Use half of the dough as the base. Spread it evenly and form small edges.

Step 6

Spread the filling evenly over the base.

Step 7

Flatten the second half of the dough by hand and cover the filling. For a golden crust, brush the pie with beaten egg yolk. Prick the pie with a fork. Bake for about 30 minutes. Then cool, remove from the form, and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
