Yield 7 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 baked 9-inch pie shell
1 1/4 cups sugar
6 tablespoons cornstarch
2 cups water
1/3 cup lemon juice
3 egg yolks
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon extract
2 teaspoons vinegar
3 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • Mix sugar and cornstarch together in the top of a double boiler. Add the two cups of water. Combine egg yolks with lemon juice and beat until well mixed. Add to the rest of the sugar mixture. Cook over boiling water until thick--about 25 minutes. This does away with the starchy taste. (Or you can make the pudding in minutes in the microwave following a standard pudding recipe.) Now add the lemon extract, butter and vinegar and stir thouroughly. Pour mixture into pie shell and let cool. Nice with cool whip.
