1 cup sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Grated rind and juice of 1 lemon
2 eggs, separated
1 tablespoon butter, melted
Pinch salt
1 cup milk
One 9-inch unbaked pie shell
Cook's notes: The pie sometimes starts to get very brown on top of
filling after first 10 minutes of baking. Tent the pie loosely with aluminum
foil (foil wasn't touching the surface of the filling).
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
2. Mix sugar and flour in large bowl. Stir in lemon juice and grated rind.
Slightly beat egg yolks. Add egg yolks, butter and salt; stir to combine. Stir
in milk and mix well.
3. In separate clean bowl, beat egg whites until stiff and glossy. Gently fold
into sugar mixture (DO NOT OVERMIX). Pour into pie shell. Bake 10 minutes in
middle of oven. Lower heat to 350 degrees. Bake about 30-40 additional minutes.
Watch closely to prevent burning.
