This Classic Lemon Pie is a timeless dessert that combines the refreshing taste of lemons with a buttery, flaky crust. The pie is filled with a smooth and tangy lemon custard that strikes the perfect balance between tart and sweet. Ideal for any occasion, this pie is a crowd-pleaser that will leave your guests asking for seconds. Serve it chilled with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out your pie crust and gently press it into a 9-inch pie pan. Trim any excess dough and crimp the edges for a decorative finish.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, whisk together sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Gradually stir in water and fresh lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in butter until melted.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, beat egg yolks lightly. Gradually add a small amount of the hot lemon mixture to the yolks, stirring constantly to temper them. Return the egg mixture to the saucepan and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Pour the filling into the prepared crust and bake for 10-12 minutes. Let cool before serving.
