CRUST:

3 c. flour
1 c. sugar
Pinch of salt
1/2 c. butter
2 eggs
1/2 tsp. lemon rind
Oil for consistency

FILLING:

3 lbs. ricotta
9-12 eggs, slightly beaten
2 c. sugar
1/2 to 1 (24 oz.) bag chocolate morsels, (depending on how much chocolate you want the pies to be)
8 oz. citron
1 tbsp. cinnamon
1 lb. cooked barley

Combine crust ingredients and place in pans. Combine filling ingredients, mixing well with a spoon after each addition. Fill crusts. Criss-cross crust strips for a lattice effect. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 to 60 minutes until filling is set and a light golden color. An Easter Tradition!
