Treat your ingredients with care...

• Lemons — Choose organic lemons for this recipe, as the zest is used as well. Make sure to slice the lemons as thinly as possible to achieve the desired texture in the pie.

Tips & Tricks

Serving advice

Serve each slice of Shaker Lemon Pie with a dollop of freshly whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream to balance the tanginess of the lemon filling.

Presentation advice

To enhance the visual appeal, garnish the pie with a few thin lemon slices and a sprig of fresh mint. Serve it on a decorative pie plate or cake stand for an elegant presentation.
