Time 3h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup white sugar
1 cup milk
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
¼ cup lemon juice
3 large egg yolks, slightly beaten
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 cup sour cream
1 (9 inch) baked pie crust
3 large egg whites
⅓ cup white sugar
1 teaspoon cornstarch

Steps:

  • Combine sugar, milk, butter, lemon juice, egg yolks, cornstarch, and lemon zest in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thick, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat, cover, and let cool, about 30 minutes.
  • Fold in sour cream; pour into the baked pie crust. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
  • Beat egg whites, sugar, and cornstarch together in a bowl using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Spread meringue on top of filling, right up to the edge of the crust.
  • Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
  • Broil in the preheated oven until meringue is lightly browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Serve immediately.

Overall, I thought this pie was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I had some trouble getting the meringue to brown properly. I think I might have overcooked it.

This pie is a bit too tart for my taste, but I think it would be perfect with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream.

This lemon pie recipe is a classic for a reason! The filling is tart and tangy, the crust is buttery and flaky, and the meringue is fluffy and light. I've made this pie several times and it always turns out perfect.
