Critical Success Points

  • Zesting and juicing the lemons (step 1)
  • Creating a smooth custard base without curdling (steps 2‑5)
  • Straining custard and adding zest (step 6)
  • Baking at the correct temperature without convection (step 14)
  • Cooling slowly in the oven to prevent cracks (step 15)
  • Flipping the pie safely to keep it whole (step 16)

Safety Warnings

  • Milk and custard become very hot; handle with care to avoid burns.
  • Use oven mitts when removing the pan and flipping the pie.
  • Sharp knives are needed for slicing; cut away from your body.
