Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter (, softened)
2 cups granulated sugar
1 Tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 Tablespoon cornmeal
5 large or extra-large eggs ((room temperature))
1 cup milk (or buttermilk)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 Tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
Dough for one pie crust

Steps:

In a medium mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar. Beat in the flour and cornmeal.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each. When the egg mixture is well beaten add the milk, vanilla, lemon juice and zest beat until smooth.
Add pie crust to 9'' pie plate and crimp the edges. Pour in filling.
Bake at 350 degreed F for 55-60 minutes. Check the pie after 30 minutes and place a piece of aluminum foil on top to keep it from getting too brown. (I spray the foil with a non-stick spray to keep it from sticking to the top of the pie.)
Allow to cool for one hour before serving.
