Description
Instead of lemon, you can use other citrus fruits: limes (2 pieces), oranges (1 piece), grapefruits (1/2 piece), pomelo (1 piece) (I haven't made it solely with pomelo, as I find it not sour enough). A mix of zest from different citrus fruits is especially tasty when using lemon juice or lemon + 1/2 orange as a base. Optionally, you can prepare a glaze: whip lemon juice (4 tablespoons) and 150 g powdered sugar until a white, thick mass forms, and pour it over the pie.

- Butter - 4.2 oz
