Steps:
- mix egg yolks, milk, juice into large bowl.
- 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.
