- 1 Tbsp. lemon juice
Instructions
Lemon Curd
- Combine all ingredients into a sauce pan (except for the butter) and heat on med-high. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon, scraping the sides as well, until it thickens and sticks to the spoon (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in butter, 1 T. at a time.

Pie Crust
- Mix flour and salt in bowl. Cut in shortening and butter with a pastry blender or two forks until it resembles coarse crumbs the size of peas.
- Combine milk and lemon juice in a small bowl. Add to flour mixture along with oil and mix until all flour is moistened.
- Roll out dough 1/4″ thick and cut with cookie cutters.
- Arrange half of your pie crust cutouts on parchment lined baking sheet.Add a small spoonful of curd and spread, leaving edges clear.
- Top with remaining pie crust cutouts. Seal edges by pressing down with a fork. Cut slits in the tops. Sprinkle with coarse sugar.
- Bake at 400 degrees for 18-20 minutes or until crust begins to brown. Cool.
