Question 2981: Lemon pie or lemon bars? (and why…)
Definitely will go with lemon pie on this one, but it needs to be lemon ice box pie and not lemon meringue pie. I’m not a fan of meringue or the custardy texture of lemon meringue pie, and honestly, isn’t lemon ice box pie more like an ice cream, and who doesn’t like ice cream?
Today, for the first time, I made a lemon pound cake. It was kind of cool because Lynne called me just as I poured it in the dish to bake, and a few minutes after I put it in the oven, I was all, “Eep! I forgot to set the timer!” And she said, “We’ve been on the phone nine minutes.” Way to come through, Lynne. Then I told her I’d never made a glaze before, but I had the powder for a lemon glaze in a packet, so she talked me through how to make a glaze. Always make sure you have a friend who knows her or his way around a kitchen.
Fresh out of the oven.
With the glaze.
Tom and I each had a slice after dinner and liked it, so he delivered a slice to Debby and a slice to Tim. I was texting Tim later and said that next time, I’m buying a lemon so I can make some lemon zest to put on the glaze, and he said he had a lemon and had already decided to do that. I think that will add an inviting scent and taste.
So yay, something creative and new on lucky 2/2/22.
Looks yum! It also looks like what we would call a lemon drizzle cake.
I just looked up recipes for same and lemon zest is called for. This article amused me, and I think I’ll have to try to bake this cake.
Yes, yum! The smell of lemon stimulates my creativity if I am home writing a lemon scented tart is melting
That is a cool writing fact. What kind of lemon tarts do you use? In case I come across any, I’ll contribute to a Marika Writing Day. =)
Any wax tarts like lemon ice lemon mandarin, lemon sugar… and Sicilian lemon and just plain lemon
Do they have to be a certain shape or size?
Nope. Not the yankee candle brand though too fancy pants and the others are just as good
