Gramma Lane's Lemon Pie

This old-style dessert isn't too sweet and it has a delicious, lemony flavor.

Serves 6 generously

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup + 1⁄3 cup water
  • Juice of 2 lemons
  • 4 TB. + 2 tsp. corn starch
  • 3 egg yolks, beaten, in a small bowl or measuring cup
  • 1 TB. butter

Directions:

  1. In the top part of a double boiler (if you've got one), heat sugar and 1 cup water. Add lemon juice.
  2. Put remaining 1⁄3 cup water in a bowl or measuring cup, and whisk in corn starch until blended and smooth.
  3. Slowly add to the double boiler, stirring. It will thicken.
  4. Add a spoonful lemon mixture to the beaten egg yolks, stirring (this is to start warming up the yolks). Add two more spoonfuls, stirring. Repeat one more time.
  5. Then pour egg mixture into double boiler, stirring, along with butter.
  6. Pour mixture into a pre-baked pie shell and put it into the fridge to set.
  7. Top with whipped cream for a quick topping or meringue for a complete lemon cream or lemon meringue pie.
