My mother often made this lemon pie back when we were growing up. You might say it's stood the test of time because today it's still my 75-year-old brother's favorite! The beaten egg whites give it a delicate texture and make this custard pie quite unique! It's a great way to finish off any meal. -Jeannie Fritson, Kearney, Nebraska

Tips:

  • Use fresh lemons. Fresh lemons will give your custard a brighter flavor than bottled lemon juice.
  • Zest your lemons before juicing them. The zest contains a lot of the lemon's flavor, so it's worth taking the time to zest them before you juice them.
  • Use a double boiler to cook your custard. This will help to prevent the custard from curdling.
  • Stir the custard constantly while it's cooking. This will help to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
  • Let the custard cool completely before serving. This will help it to set properly.

Conclusion:

Mama's Lemon Custard Delight is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It's light and refreshing, with a bright lemon flavor. The custard is creamy and smooth, and the crust is flaky and buttery. This recipe is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
