Ingredients

3 cups All purpose flour + 3 Tbsp

1 cup shortening

1 cup sugar

4 Tbsp unsalted butter melted

1 whole lemon zest

1/4 cup lemon juice

2 large Eggs seperated

1 cup milk

1. In a food processor or with a pastry blender mix 3 cups flour and shortening until mixture is the consistency of cornmeal, about 10 pulses. Add 1/3 to 1/2 cup ice water to form dough. Divide dough in half. On a floured surface roll one half into a 12-inch circle and line a 9-inch pie pan; chill in refrigerator. Freeze remaining dough for later use. 2. Heat oven to 450 degrees with rack in lower third. Stir together 3 tbsp flour, sugar, butter, zest, lemon juice, egg yolks, and milk. In a separate bowl beat egg whites to stiff peaks and fold into lemon mixture. 3. Pour into crust and bake 10 min. Reduce oven to 350 degrees and bake until a knife inserted into center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. If top of pie gets too dark, tent with foil.
