Shaker Lemon Pie

Slice lemons paper thin, discarding ends. Layer in a bowl with all of the sugar and leave it for at least 8 hours, preferably overnight.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

Add beaten eggs to the lemon mixture, mix well and pour into unbaked 9″ bottom pie crust. Cover with top crust.

Optional: Brush top crust with milk or egg and sprinkle with sugar.

Vent top crust by making slits with a knife.

Bake pie for 15-20 minutes at 425, then reduce temperature to 350 degrees F for an additional 20-25 minutes until crust is golden and a knife inserted comes out clean. Remove from oven and cool. Serve warm or cool, with whipped cream.
