BEST-EVER LEMON PIE image

Categories     Dessert

Yield 7 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 baked 9-inch pie shell
1 1/4 cups sugar
6 tablespoons cornstarch
2 cups water
1/3 cup lemon juice
3 egg yolks
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon extract
2 teaspoons vinegar
3 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • Mix sugar and cornstarch together in the top of a double boiler. Add the two cups of water. Combine egg yolks with lemon juice and beat until well mixed. Add to the rest of the sugar mixture. Cook over boiling water until thick--about 25 minutes. This does away with the starchy taste. (Or you can make the pudding in minutes in the microwave following a standard pudding recipe.) Now add the lemon extract, butter and vinegar and stir thouroughly. Pour mixture into pie shell and let cool. Nice with cool whip.

I've tried many lemon pie recipes and this one is by far the best. It's easy to follow and the results are phenomenal. The pie is *bursting with flavor* and the texture is perfect.

This lemon pie is life changing. It's perfectly sweet and tart, with a velvety smooth filling and a *delightfully buttery* flaky crust. I will never try another lemon pie recipe again!

This pie was a bit too tart for my liking, but I could see how others might enjoy it.
