Yields: One 9-inch pie
Prep Time: N/A
Cook Time: N/A
INGREDIENTS
1 9" Pie Shell (see directions)
2 cups Sugar
1 tablespoon Flour
1 tablespoon Yellow Cornmeal
4 Large Eggs
1/4 cup Butter - melted
1/4 cup Milk or Half & Half
4 tablespoons Finely Grated FRESH Lemon Peel
1/4 cup Fresh Lemon Juice
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
DIRECTIONS
(Pie Crust)
(Make it easy on yourself) - Buy a Betty Crocker Pie Crust Mix in the red 11 oz. box. It makes 2 pie flaky crusts, but here's the secret: Add 1/4 cup of broken up tiny butter bits (cut 1/2 a stick of butter into little pieces and combine into the mix as you add cold water). The mix makes 2 crusts, so save one for another pie or double the pie filling recipe.
(Pie Filling)
Combine sugar, flour, and cornmeal in a large bowl. Toss lightly with a fork to mix. Add eggs, butter, milk, grated lemon, lemon juice, and vanilla extract to the mixture. Beat with a rotary or electric beater until smooth and thoroughly blended. Pour into single crust pie shell.
Baking:
Bake in moderate oven (350 degrees) for 40-45 minutes or until top is golden brown. Cut pie while warm. Feel free to serve pie by itself or with a dallop of Haagen Daas Vanilla ice cream.
This is a gold record winner!!!
