Lemon smell

I made my first Frola pie! the best was the lemon smell as I grated the zest. Loved it. A piece of advice: When melting the quince beware not to do it with too much lemon, otherwise it will taste a bit sour. Just water and one or two drops of lemon, if any.

Cheers.

Frola Pie


Ingredients:

250g of self-rising flour - 130g of butter - 130g of sugar -1 egg, and 1 egg yolk - 1 Lemon (grated lemon zest) - Quince Jam (at your discretion).

Preparation:

Crumble the butter and combine with flour, sugar, egg and egg yolk and mix well. Knead the dough until smooth, and spread it into a tart-pan, leaving a remnant to form top strips.

Pour quince jam (previously melted with a few drops of lemon) and place strips on top (8) forming diamond shapes. Place the tart-pan into a pre-heated oven, and bake until dough is cooked (golden brown in colour).

Remove the pie from the oven and allow to cool for approximately 15 minutes before serving.
