Mother's recipe for my Dad's favorite pie! It's a lemon lover's dream. I often make these for Holiday gifts or potluck suppers.

Time 1h15m

Yield 1 9inch pie, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 whole eggs, separated
1 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose yellow cornmeal (can use white)
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup butter (not margarine)
1 9 inch pie shell (not deep dish)

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.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees and bake an additional 25 to 30 minutes or more until pie is just set in the middle.
  • It should be a little jiggly, not runny, in the middle.
  • Remove from oven and cool.
  • It can be refrigerated, but is best served at room temperature.
  • Covered, this pie will keep unrefrigerated for up to 4 days; however, it won't last that long!
