A delicious pie that's made with lots of butter, sugar and lemon juice
Start by preparing the short crust pastry. In a large bowl mix together the flour, salt and sugar. Add in the butter and with your hands, crumble the flour and butter together till it resembles coarse bread crumbs.
Beat the whole egg and add into the flour mix. With the help of some ice cold water, bring together the dough. Do NOT knead. This will keep the pastry flaky.
Flatten and wrap in a cling film. And let it rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
While the dough is chilling, make the filling. Place the eggs, lemon juice, sugar and lemon zest onto a double boiler. Whisk until the eggs start changing colour. This should take about 10 minutes.
As the eggs thicken, turn off the heat and stir in the butter, mint, salt and cream. Remove and cool in the refrigerator until you're ready to assemble the pie
Roll out the short crust dough to fit the tin. Bake it blind for 20 minutes at 190 degree centigrade on a pre-heated oven. And open for an additional 15 minutes.
Set aside and cool. Fill in the lemon filling. Chill for atleast 2 hours. Top with lemon slices, lemon zest and mint just before serving.
