• On a lightly floured surface, roll out the remaining dough into a 13-inch round. Roll it up on the rolling pin and unroll it on the top of the pie. Trim the edges, leaving a 1-inch rim of dough.

• This pie crust is a lot easier to roll after it has chilled for two hours. It then absorbs less flour when rolled. The lemon juice will tenderize the gluten while baking--there is no need for any special precaution in rolling. The large circle of dough can be easily manipulated into the pan by first folding it in four, and then unfolding right in the pan, where the pan provides support. Your recipe directs the filling to be cooked and added to the rolled dough without saying anything about any cooling time. Using a hot filling makes the pastry get soggy in the oven.
