So good and good for you lemon pie

I wanted to make something a little sweet and as always wanted to feel good about eating it and feel good after eating it. So I pulled out my trusty Tassajara Bread Book. The ultimate bread baking bible with some baked goods recipes. I found a recipe for lemon tarts and I actually had all of the ingredients, well sort of. I had a few bits of flour; some barley, some brown rice and some spelt. I don't often use sugar, but I do use agave nectar, honey and maple syrup. Sometimes I use sucanat sugar, if I want a more traditional baked good. This recipe I opted for agave for it's light flavour and it's sweetness that doesn't put me on a sugar high. It is all natural and when you buy the raw stuff, it's pretty unrefined and tasty. I do have to say that the darker raw agave tastes better than the light agave. It has more flavour, not just super sweetness. I guess it is similar to a dark grade of maple syrup.

I made the recipe from the book, with a few alterations and wow was it ever good. It disappeared fast in my house. It got the double thumbs up. If you would like my version of the recipe you can get it here. Just scroll down to the recipes. The original version, which I am sure is incredible is on page 122 of the Tassajara Bread Book-Edward Espe Brown. I highly recommend adding it to your cook book collection.
