Bulk pie with a layer of lemons

Simple and quick to prepare, tasty and aromatic pie. Lemons are not only a wonderful fruit for adding to tea and making other drinks, but also a wonderful base for baking. For example, shortbread pie with lemon filling will definitely not leave anyone indifferent; pleasant sourness and moderate sweetness with a wonderful aroma perfectly complement the shortbread dough, creating a delicate taste. This pie is delicious both warm and cold; it can be served with tea, coffee or cocoa.

    Let's prepare the ingredients for the pie according to the list. Let's start by preparing shortcrust pastry. Place softened butter in a bowl. If desired, butter can be replaced with margarine, the pie will be cheaper, but this will not negatively affect the taste. Add sugar and beat in a chicken egg, add a pinch of vanillin and a pinch of salt to balance the taste. Mix the ingredients with a blender or mixer until a homogeneous mass is obtained.

    Cut the lemons into pieces and place in a bowl. Add sugar. The amount of sugar can be increased or decreased according to taste. Using a blender or through a meat grinder, grind the lemons with sugar to form a porridge-like mass. Transfer the lemon mixture into a metal bowl and put it on the fire; simmer the lemons for 15 minutes over medium heat until the mixture thickens a little. Let the lemon filling cool slightly.
