LEMON CUSTARD PIE
This is my first attempt at a custard pie. Granny made them all the time...From her hand written recipe I tweaked it, with less sugar and added lemon juice for a tart taste. Hers was always way to sweet for me. I baked this on 7/2/12..today 7/4/12 it dissappeared! Just went poof! right before my own eyes! and I live...

Steps:
- 1. Heat oven to 375. Prepare 9 inch pie pan with crust. I prick the crust all over with a fork, bottom and sides. Bake crust for five minutes. Remove...set aside.
- 2. In a bowl mix together sugars,& salt. Scald milk, remove from stove. Beat together corn starch, lemon juice,and beaten eggs . Beat well in to the hot milk. I cooked all for a couple minutes on the stove...stirring all the time., to start the setting process. ****Optional...you can add a couple drops of yellow food coloring..to your liking. Only for color. MIX in well....
- 3. Pour into the crust.. Sprinkle top with nutmeg. Place on center rack. I put a sheet of aluminum foil on the rack under the pie...incase of drips! Bake for abour 50-60 minutes... When half way baked..carefully cover edges with aluminum foil.....so they do not get to brown...like mine did!! Test with a knife. edge of pie will thicken first...center will be almost set. Remove to a rack to cool. Refrigerate till serving time.
