Classic Lemon Pie
|
|
| A plain lemon pie that is
comparatively inexpensive may be made by following the directions given
here. More eggs, of course, will make a better pie and they may be added
if desired. Grating the rind of the lemon adds flavor to the filling, but
too much will give a bitter taste.
Ingredients
1 Easy Pie Pastry mixture
2 cups water
1 cup sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
1/3 cup corn starch
2 eggs
1/4 cup lemon juice
Grated rind of 1 lemon
Garnish with lemon slices and rind
Lemon Pie Preparation:
-
Prepare Easy Pie Pastry mixture,
cover and refrigerate.
-
Bring the water to the boiling
point.
-
Mix the sugar, salt, and corn
starch and add to the water. Cook directly over the flame until the mixture
is thickened and then place in a double boiler.
-
Separate the eggs, beat the
yolks, and to them add the lemon juice and the grated rind of the lemon.
Beat all well and add to the corn-starch mixture.
-
Remove from the fire and pour
into the baked crust of a pie.
TIP: If desired, make pie in deep pie dish, prepare Meringue
of the egg whites and place on top of the filling. Brown in the oven, cool,
and serve.
