Yield Makes 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 cups sugar
6 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
3 large egg yolks, well beaten
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 teaspoons grated lemon peel

Steps:

  • Sift sugar, cornstarch, and salt into a medium saucepan. Gradually blend in 1/2 cup cold water and lemon juice. Place saucepan over medium-low heat, and whisk until smooth. Add egg yolks and 2 tablespoons butter, and blend thoroughly. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon until thickened, and add 1 1/2 cups boiling water. Continue stirring until mixture reaches desired thickness, 2 to 3 minutes.

I found this filling to be a bit too thick. I had to add some milk to thin it out.

This filling is a bit too tart for my taste, but I think it would be great in a pie with a sweet crust.

This filling is a bit too runny for my taste. I think I'll try adding some cornstarch next time.
