400 g white sugar
2 lemons, thinly sliced
4 eggs, beaten
1 recipe pastry for a 23 cm double crust pie
15 ml milk
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine sugar and thinly sliced lemons. Let the mixture stand for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Step 2
Preheat the oven to 230°C. Press one pie pastry into a pie plate.
Step 3
Add beaten eggs to the sugar-lemon mixture and mix thoroughly. Pour the filling into the bottom crust, then cover with the remaining pie pastry. Brush the top crust with milk and sprinkle with sugar as desired.
Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce the heat to 190°C and bake for an additional 20 to 25 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
