Ingredients for the dough:

How prepare lemon pie:

Masa: We strain the flour and salt with a sieve. Cut the butter into cubes and refrigerate, then when it is cold it is incorporated into the flour in a food processor or with a cornet (1) to form a sand. Then add the powdered sugar (previously sieved) and the yolks to integrate. With the hands we continue mixing the dough without working it much so that the butter does not melt. Stretch a little with the help of hands and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Lemon cream: Combine the sugar, eggs and lemon juice by beating on a bain-marie until the preparation thickens. Remove from heat and add butter. Reserve.

Swiss meringue: Place the egg whites in a bowl over a bain-marie, beat (with electric mixer) until frothed. Then the sugar is incorporated in the form of rain, keep beating until you get a firmer texture. Remove from the water bath and continue beating until the bowl cools and firm peaks are achieved.

Assembly

Remove the dough from the refrigerator, knead a little if it is very cold. Line a base to stand by stretching the dough with a rolling pin on a lightly floured table, remove excess dough. With a fork prick the dough (only at the base, never on the walls) and bake at 170ºC for several minutes until it browns a little. Allow to cool and unmold.

Fill the base of the foot (already cold) with the lemon cream, refrigerate.Here you can see how to make a homemade cornet.
