Mom's Lemon Custard Pie image

My mother often made this lemon pie back when we were growing up. You might say it's stood the test of time because today it's still my 75-year-old brother's favorite! The beaten egg whites give it a delicate texture and make this custard pie quite unique! It's a great way to finish off any meal. -Jeannie Fritson, Kearney, Nebraska

I'm not a big fan of lemon pies, but this one is really good. The custard is so smooth and creamy, and the lemon flavor is not too overpowering.
