Ingredients:
- I cup sugar
- 3 Tbs. cornstarch
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 3 Egg yolks, slightly beaten
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 9- inch Baked pie shell
Directions:
Combine sugar, cornstarch, butter, lemon juice, milk and egg yolks in heavy saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until smooth and thickened. Remove from heat, cover with wax paper and cool. When cool, fold sour cream into mixture and pour into baked pie shell. Chill at least two hours. Top with cool whip.
Note: Once you make this, you will find it will be the only lemon pie recipe you will ever need. I guarantee!!!
When I made this, I followed the instructions precisely. I’m not sure where I went wrong, but the pie did not set up. It stayed runny after overnight refridgeration. The filling tastes great, but it’s definitely not a pie, as it has a sauce consistency.
