A silken smooth custard that has the perfect lemon flavor; balancing tangy, sweetness, and creamy - a notch above meringue. Also tastes great when chilled.
Brooklyn, NY
Four & Twenty Blackbirds pie bakery was founded in Brooklyn in 2009 by sisters and pie makers Melissa Elsen and Emily Elsen. Their business is focused on making pies in a truly handmade way, using seasonal and fresh ingredients sourced from local orchards. The care that goes into their homemade pies is demonstrated in the unique and outstanding flavor, unlike any other in New York City. The sisters started the custom pie business out of an apartment in Crown Heights, until opening their first brick and mortar in Gowanus in 2009.
