  • 1 bottom pie crust
  • 2 C. sugar
  • 1/2 C. melted butter
  • 1/4 C. milk
  • 1/3 C. lemon juice
  • 2 tsp. grated lemon rind

INSTRUCTIONS

Fit pie crust into a 9″ pie plate; fold edges under, and crimp. Line edges with aluminum foil, and prick the crust or use pie weights. Bake at 425 degrees for 7-8 mins. Cool crust completely. Stir together sugar and the next 9 ingredients until blended. Add eggs, stirring well. Pour filling into pie crust. Bake at 350 degrees for 50-55 mins shielding edges with foil to prevent excessive browning. Cool completely on a wire rack. Pie will look golden like a custard pie.
