To make the lemon pie filling
1. First, grease the pan with butter to prevent the pie from sticking to it.
2. Preheat the oven to 170 degrees C.
3. Prepare the crust. Mix the butter and flour in a large mixing bowl. Use your fingertips and mix thoroughly.
4. Add the stevia, 3 egg yolks and water. Mix well and form a ball. Cover with clingfilm and sit it in the fridge for 15 minutes.
5. After 15 minutes, place the mixture in the pan. Make sure it is molded to the pan’s shape and make the edges at least 2 cm tall. That’s because it needs to be high enough for the mixture to be poured in.
