Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C).
Wash the lemons. Slice them into wedges and remove the seeds.
2-3 small lemons
Place the lemons and all of the filling ingredients into the blender. Blend for about a minute, or until smooth. Depending on your blender it may take longer than a minute.
3 eggs, 2 egg yolks, ½ cup unsalted butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, ¼ teaspoon salt, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
Pour into par-baked pie shell. Bake at 350F for 30-35 minutes, or until set. The middle may be jiggly but the outside should be firm.
1 par baked pie crust
Cool to room temperature, then place in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Before serving, dust with powdered sugar or top with whipped cream, if desired.

Notes
If using salted butter then leave out the additional salt.
If your lemons have a thick pith (the white part) then cut that away and just use the peel and flesh. The pith adds bitterness. If the lemon pith is thin then the whole lemon can be used.
A food processor can be used instead of a blender.
Cover the pie tightly with plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator. It will keep for up to 5 days.
