Lemon Sponge Pie!

Another recipe for pie lovers and especially those who Love Lemon!

Lemon sponge pie!

 

 This pie was my brother's favorite. 

He passed away almost 9 years ago and although I miss him everyday making this pie honors his memory. 





Hi Everyone:  Mom loved to bake this pie and said the secret to making it the very best was to make sure your egg whites were beaten to stiff peaks and to fold them in ever so lightly to the mixture and the every end before you quickly put the pie in the oven. 

Happy Baking!

3/4 cup Sugar
2 tablespoons Flour
Juice and rind of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons butter(softened)
3 eggs separated
2 cups milk (whole)
1 unbaked pie shell

Whipped cream ( 1 pint heavy whipping cream, 3 T powdered  sugar,  1 tsp. vanilla).  Beat until thickened.
Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Roll out pie shell and lay into pie plate(see picture) Put aside















Cream sugar and butter..  Add flour,egg yolks,lemon rind,and juice.  Add milk and beat slowly.

In separate bowl beat egg whites until stiff(see picture)..Fold gently into above mixture..(use large spoon or spatula) Pour immediately into unbaked pie shell.  Bake 350 degrees 35 to 40 minutes.

Note: Depending on oven it may take a little less or a little longer..Test center with butter knife..It should come out clean..Cool completely..Top with Whipped Cream..


Note:Topping this pie with some fresh whipped cream really adds to the presentation as well as some extra sweet cream flavor.  A great anytime dessert!    

It really is quite easy using refrigerated Pie crust.  (I used Pillsbury refrigerated pie crust).  A big hit!!!

Happy Baking,
 From my kitchen to yours,

Thanksgiving 2021

Family dinner at our son Mark and family.

Thanksgiving is usually spent with our daughter and family but this year was different.  Susan and her husband moved to Texas in June so things have changed in regard to our family time and  her boys are now living in that area working and going to college.

It seems like yesterday our grandchildren were little when we moved to Pittsburgh and now we are in Pittsburgh and they are far from us.

Life changes and you can’t stop time…

We enjoyed all that was prepared including Turkey and gravy, two bread stuffings which were Chestnut sage and cornbread, mashed potatoes, marshmallow sweet potatoes, corn pudding and a great salad.  

Dessert was apple pie.

Of course plenty of fresh nuts as in pistachio, cashews and praline pecans.

Texas time

Our daughter moved to Texas in June.

We had the opportunity to visit her and her family and were able to see a few of the Fort Worth Texas sights as well as Waco, Houston and College station.


One of the highlights were visiting Magnolia Farm.  A few of the pictures are from there. Also visiting the Stockyards were a great fun and interesting experience.

Check out those Texas Longhorns!!!



Other photos were from precious time with family and having some yummy food! Yummy!













































Family time is the Best Time!
