Prep Time: N/A
Cook Time: N/A
INGREDIENTS
1 9" Amazingly Easy & Fast Pie Crust shell
2 cups sugar
1 tablespoon All Purpose Flour
1 tablespoon white cornmeal
4 Large eggs
1/4 cup butter - melted
1/4 cup Half & Half
4 tablespoons finely grated FRESH lemon peel
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon Vanilla Extract
DIRECTIONS
Pie Crust
Prepare the Betty Crocker Pie Crust Mix - the one that comes 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 dollop of your favorite Vanilla ice cream.
This is a gold record winner!!!
