Number Of Ingredients 6

2 whole eggs, separated
1 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose yellow cornmeal (can use white)
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup butter
9 inches pie shells, pre-baked 10 minutes

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In small bowl, beat egg whites until stiff. Set aside.
  • In large bowl, cream together sugar, cornmeal, lemon juice, butter and egg yolks for 5 minutes or more until creamy.
  • Gently fold beaten egg whites into this lemon mixture. Gently pour filling into pie crust. Bake about 15 minutes or until top of pie begins to brown.
