LEMON PIE WITH RICE CHEX® CRUST



Lemon Pie with Rice Chex® Crust image

A flourless crust is a Passover tradition. It's said that when the Jews escaped from slavery in Egypt, they left so quickly they couldn't wait for their bread to rise. Ever since then, they've marked that exodus by baking without flour and leavening agents like yeast.
