"I just made this recipe and it is delicious. I did tweak it a bit, Instead of using granulated sugar in the crust I added powdered sugar and cooked the crust for 16 min Instead of twenty. powdered sug makes for a more flakey crust , the next thing i did was add an eighth cup extra lemon juice and I covered the top with foil for 20 min. while in the oven then let it brown for five. Over all not bad."
