Lemon Pie
- 9-inch pie shell
- 1 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 1/3 cup water
- 4 egg yolks, slightly beaten
- 1/2 cup lemon juice
- 3 Tbsp. butter
- 1 tsp. grated lemon peel
- 4 egg whites
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1/2 cup sugar
- These recipes call for starting with a baked 9-inch pie shell. Again I prefer Albertsons ready-made crust.
- Remove one crust from the package and let warm up to room temperature, about one hour should do it.
- Remove a single crust and unfold.
- Prepare pie dish by spraying with Pam all natural spray.
- Wiping off excess spray with a paper towel.
- Unfold the pie crust--repair any tares by following the makers instructions.
- On the side of the crust that will face down on the pie dish put a heaping teaspoon of flour. Spread the flour evenly from the center of the crust to the very edges of the crust.
- Brush off excess flour; place floured side down in pie dish.
- Carefully fit crust into pie dish.
- Cut off excess crust, crimp edges of crust onto lip of pie dish using a table fork.
- Also you can use pie rings on edge for excellent results.
- Baste crust lightly with milk and bake to makers instructions.
- This should give you a beautiful golden brown crust. Let crust cool completely.
