Meyer Lemon Shaker Pie

Meyer Lemon Shaker PIe

A friend of mine baked a pie for Easter, and texted me, “I made a pie and it didn’t turn out.” I was imaging all sorts of baking disasters, but what I didn’t realize is that she made a lemon Shaker pie and it’s not a texture or taste most of us are used to. But she was wrong. I tried the pie. I loved the pie. I mean I LOVED the pie. It was oh so tart, and yet sweet, and lemony to the max. She didn’t put a top crust on it, allowing the lemon peels and lemon curd to form a crust on its own.

This recipe works with Meyer Lemons or regular lemons, as a pie or as a tart.

What is a Shaker pie?

I don’t expect you to know. I only just discovered this a few weeks ago myself. The Shakers are those folks who made sensible furniture, known for simplicity and quality. The story goes that lemons were a luxury, and not to be wasted, thus a shaker lemon pie uses the entire lemon, except the seeds. The zest, the juicy insides, and yes, the pith. Makes you pucker and shake your head doesn’t it? But, one bite and you might be as enamored as I’ve become.

Lemons are zested and sliced very thin and then covered with sugar for several hours. The longer the lemons sit in the sugar, the better, because it takes away the bitterness of the pith. My friend allowed for overnight for her second pie and liked that the best. You could just rub this all over your body for an incredible spa treatment too.

Once left standing for several hours, you get this lemony, sugary nearly candied mixture ready to go into the pie.

The regular lemon pie was outstanding. The Meyer lemon pie was outstanding, but just a bit sweeter in that tangerine taste way (or Meyer lemon taste way).

Meyer lemons are a cross between a lemon and a mandarin orange, and a bit floral.   Feel free to substitute and use regular lemons. Whatever you choose, make sure to buy organic, as you are using all the zest, and look for lemons without a lot of thick pith. You can trim some of that off (or all of it off) before you slice the lemons.

There you have it. A gorgeous crunchy lemony pie. I could work on making the crust look a bit prettier, but it’s my delicious buttery crust that takes this pie over the top.

Pie Crust Recipe

See a Video how to make perfect pie crust here.

1 1/2  cups all purpose flour ( plus 1 teaspoon for later)
1/4 teaspoon salt
10 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
2 to 4  tablespoons ice cold water
1 teaspoon sugar (optional)

  1. Mix salt and flour together. Cut butter into small pieces. Freeze both for a 15 minutes minutes, as butter softens immediately upon cutting. If using food processor, put flour mixture in bowl and freeze blade.
  2. Lay small pieces of butter evenly over flour and mix for 20 seconds at a time, stopping as soon as dough is shaggy. Stream in cold water. If using kitchen aid type mixer, use paddle attachment on low setting for one minute max.
  3. Stream in cold water on sides of bowl. Mix on low, just until incorporated. Form into disc , wrap in plastic at least one hour. I rest my dough overnight, but this is not a must.
  4. Take dough out 30 minutes before rolling to soften.
  5. Roll out dough, evenly, not too thick, less than 1/4” thick and in all directions to make a circle. Do not stretch dough, because it will shrink back. Patch any cracks or holes. Use fork to make indentations.

    Angela,
    So cool. I love Meyer Lemons and hate to waste even one little bit of their deliciousness. I just score a huge bag of Meyers from a friend yesterday and they are begging to be used for some sort of wonderful treat. Shaker Pie here we come.

    I love Shaker Lemon Pie! I first had it years ago at the restaurant at Shaker Village in Pleasant Hill, Ky. The one they made was absolutely beautiful, with lemons sliced paper thin and stacked perfectly on top of each other. I’ve never tried making one at home, but that may have to change soon.

    I am not familiar with this pie, but I like the idea of putting the lemons…peel and pulp in the pie. Meyer Lemons have very edible skin and pulp, unlike other lemons so what a fantastic recipe. I will definitely add this to my recipe file. Sorry to have missed a few postings…I have been in Chicago on shoots but back home and trying to catch up.

    LOL.. “rub it all over your body for an incredible spa treatment too”.. I just pictured myself doing this and then having my husband or daughter walk in.. Im sure they would think I had lost it all!! But I bet you’re right, it would make for a great exfoliant and would so be worth the funny looks I would possibly get from the family! Kinda like the kitty litter (clean) masque.
    I just had a salad with strawberries, almonds and blue cheese.. would that slice of pie defeat the purpose of my salad?!? That’s it.. I need to come to your house, the food you make and post looks absolutely wonderful! Thanks so much for sharing.. :O)

TUSCAN SHRIMP - You can find tuscan everything on Pinterest. Tuscan chicken, Tuscan salmon and my Tuscan shrimp. They all have one thing in common….a whole cup of heavy cream. I decided to slim it down a bit by adding only a splash of cream, and using a thickening gel made from xanthan gum, (recipe below)  and some broth. I spiced it up with some Trader Joe’s  bomba sauce, ❤️👩🏻‍🍳which in case you haven’t noticed, I put it in EVERYTHING. Recipe coming soon.

Taco Tuesday, even if you’re on keto! At first glance you would think you can’t eat this on a low carb diet. Think again. Fish fried with pork panko, sitting in my grain free tortillas (which you can buy in my bakery by the way). You can use a food processor to transform pork rinds into pork panko. I found the pork panko at costco (affordable, finally and they are life changing for a grain free diet).

We cannot control the crazy in our wold right now, but we can control what we eat. This spicy salmon is keto friendly with ground pork rinds giving crunch. Not only seriously delicious, but Omega 3 good for you. 
I choose healthy but I also choose pleasurable food. This is placed atop cauliflower rice and some nice white wine wouldn’t hurt either.  The spicy comes from Trader Joe’s Italian Bomba Hot Pepper Sauce made with fermented  Calabrian chili peppers. It’s my new go to. EASY Recipe coming soon.

My most popular blog post is this New York Strip Steak, 185,000 times this year! And, I get the nicest comments about my method. It’s a pan sear and then to oven recipe, but the tips are what bring success. It’s not a reverse sear, which I’ve done with some other steaks, because I like that method with really thick steak. Strip steaks tend to be thinner and the sear and roast method keeps my steak medium rare. Salt and Pepper are my only seasonings…Maybe a bit of butter and thyme. #linkinprofile https://spinachtiger.com/new-york-strip-steak-recipe/

Tips for the Perfect Steak

* Salt the steak 24 hours in advance. It goes into the meat overnight, adds moisture and enhances flavor
* Don’t cover steaks in the fridge. The outside of the steak should be dry if you want to sear them. Put them on a rack so both sides dry.
* Make sure the steak is dry, before searing. When ready to cook, I used to think my steak needed to come down to room temperature, but I now find that I get a better sear  with a cold steak, as long as the steak is dry. It’s the water that comes out of the steak that prevents that nice sear, also known as the mallaird effect.
* Start with a very hot  cast iron pan.
* Do not add oil until pan is hot.
* Use a round grill press, if you can, but no worries if you don’t have one.

Happy New Year! Fingers crossed🤞🏼. Prayers said. 🙏🏻Celebrating today with carnitas and a black eyed peas dip. 👩🏻‍🍳Lucky black eyed peans mean prosperous. Eating pork is also something about pigs rooting forward. Growing up we ate pork and sauerkraut every New Years. 🥳Today it’s a little bit more modern. The black eyed peas is coupled with black beans, pickled red onion from @thekitchn, pickled jalapeño, cilantro, various bell pepper, lime juice avocado and plenty of salt. You must have the salt to awaken and balance the vinegar. Since last week’s Nashville bombing, my appetite was meh. Today is a new year and I’ve invited company and look forward to all the good every year has, no matter what. Helmet of salvation beats this earth stuff any day! (Recipe will come to the blog this week). SpinachTiger dot com reached 12 years!

Cheeseball and Peaches  have so enjoyed the lockdown this year! This is a rare moment when they are actually cuddling together. They cuddle people more. They have the large deck outside to roam. They race around chasing each other in the middle of the night and for them life is wonderful. Reflecting on the past year, I’m truly an optimist, even in 2020.  Many good things happened, shadowed by Covid fallout some because of Covid. The biggest down for me personally was the lack of adventure, connection, parties, dining out, inviting people over, talking to my customers face to face. These are not shallow things. They are the things that boost the immune system and prolong life. Bread and water shared with people trumps a huge feast eaten alone. So my happiest times this year have been with people I love and the getaway at my friend’s farm. Getting OUTSIDE without a mask, without fear has meant everything. The joy of the Lord is my strength and I pray for a lot of JOY for 2021, for as a believer, it’s never pitch dark.

How warped time is now. Three days ago, bombing in Nashville. FBI says solved. Life goes on. Power restored. Went to my usual Monday morning workout. HOWEVER, my brain and heart can’t catch up this fast. Taking a day to chill, process, and look at the big fat year ahead. Bakery owner, full-time food blogger. Thinking about what new doors to open, what doors I should shut. I’ll leave you with this. 2020 started off amazing! I scheduled my first bakery classes and was so gleeful to be able to make one of my dreams come true. In March they all had to be cancelled. The bakery grew during the lockdown! The blog took a major hit in ad dollars due to pandemic. The blog grew substantially in 4th quarter. The blog broke all $ records this month. The bakery closed for three weeks substantial exposure to Covid (taking care of those infected) I never got it! 34 year old sister in law (ex) died suddenly of pancreatic cancer six weeks after diagnosis in July. Her father died five months later. My step mother’s duties increased a bit due to this. She inherited $10,000 from a separate source. So like everyone else, its been up and down and up and down and I didn’t even mention politics, riots, etc. WOW! However, unlike most people, I’m going to call this the best year of my life and marriage. WHY? I started a prayer call in March, praying 4 to 5 days weekly. It has changed my life, my husband’s life and those who come to pray. It has meant EVERYTHING!  By the way this is a cake I never wrote about. Blackberry w lemon mascarpone. What is the ONE GREAT THING of 2020 you experienced?

Can food make you feel better? Sometimes. But it’s been a rough two days. Remember when I said on Christmas Eve, “may tomorrow be as nice as this day: That didn’t age well. What a time! Great little Christmas morning and then I looked at my phone. A BOMB exploded in downtown Nashville. 😡😢Even though I live miles away, our cell service is still not working. We lost internet and TV as did thousands in five states.  Doug ran to Comcast the next morning to get us a temporary account. The scary thing aside from a BOMB, is how vulnerable we are with no cell service or internet (AT & T) as it was all housed in one building with no back up plan. Did you know our infrastructure is this vulnerable? Many of us still can’t call 911 if we needed to. 🙁We are grateful no residents were harmed from the bomb. We still don’t know the “who” in the remains. We don’t know what to believe. 🤷🏻‍♀️I highly recommend watching the Netflix show, Manhunt Deadly Games (about Richard Jewell (falsely accused) and Eric Rudolph (the actual Centennial Park Bomber). Great insight into serial bombers, lone wolfs, and the FBI. 🙏🏻 for not just Nashville but for America.
