How to Make Grammy Mae's Luscious Lemon Pie
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together the lemon juice, sugar, cornstarch, and salt.
- Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove from heat and whisk in the butter until melted and incorporated.
- Temper the eggs by whisking a few spoonfuls of the hot lemon mixture into the eggs. Then, slowly pour the tempered egg mixture into the saucepan, whisking constantly.
- Return the saucepan to low heat and cook, whisking continuously, for 1-2 minutes, or until the custard is smooth and thickened.
- Stir in the lemon zest.
- Pour the lemon filling into the prepared pie crust.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the filling is set around the edges and slightly jiggly in the center.
- Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before refrigerating for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the filling to fully set.
- Serve chilled, optionally topped with whipped cream.
