Learn how to make a lemon pie with Chef Sylvain ...
To start, make the bottom of the pie with a sugar dough in a metal ring, which provides straight edges.
Roll up the sugar dough progressively in both ways until you obtain a thickness of 3 or 4 mm.
Wind the dough around the rolling pin to place it onto the metal ring buttered in advance.
Push the dough to the bottom of the metal ring, and make an edge by pressing the dough on the metal ring.
Use the rolling pin to remove the surplus of dough, then straighten up the edge by pinching the dough with your fingers. Slide your finger all around to facilitate the turning out.
Put your pie on a baking sheet and fill it with ceramic balls or with dry beans to avoid the dough to move during the baking. Then blind bake this bottom of pie at 210 °C during 10 minutes.
For the lemon cream, pour the lemon juice, the liquid cream, the butter and the lemon zest in a saucepan, then bring it to boil.
In the meantime, break the eggs in a container, add the sugar and whisk to blanch the whole.
Once the dough is part-baked, remove it from the oven and lower the oven temperature to 180°C.
When the lemon juice is boiled, pour it on the eggs while stirring, then pour the mixture back into the saucepan. Continue cooking and as soon as bubbles appear, remove the saucepan from the heat.
Pour the cream into the part-baked dough, and bake it in the 180°C oven during 15 to 20 minutes.
Once baked, remove the lemon pie from the oven and leave it to cool at room temperature first then leave it to rest in the refrigerator.
Either you serve the apple pie as it is or you add some meringue. I'm going to show this last possibility.
Start whisking the egg whites until foamy with a little of sugar at the beginning. When the whites are 3/4 beaten, add progressively some superfine sugar.
For the setting, use a pastry bag fitted with a big enough star tip, and place the meringue in a circular pattern, while spinning the lemon pie.
To caramelize the meringue, I recommend you to use a blowtorch or, otherwise, to place your lemon pie under the oven grill while keeping an eye on the coloration.
