Time 5m

2 egg yolks, beaten up
10 -12 ounces sweetened condensed milk

cream of tartar (spice or powder)
ready-made pie crust, any flavor

Steps:

  • Mix all together until creamy.
  • Add a few pinches of cream tartar to make it set nice. (not enough will make it runny.)
  • Pour into your pie dish and refridgerate!
  • Depending on the size of your crust, you may need to use more sweetened condensed milk to fill the pie up. I usually use 1 can, + 1/2 can. I always let mine set overnight. You can top it with anything you wish like whipped cream, or lemon wedges for garnish. I give one to each of my neighbors as sweet gifts. I promise you will love it!

Tips:

  • Use fresh lemons for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice, but the flavor will not be as good.
  • Make sure the butter is cold before you add it to the crust. This will help to keep the crust flaky.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the crust tough.
  • Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. The filling should not be runny.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will help the filling to set and the flavors to meld.
