Ingredients

8 servings

1 9 - Inch Pie Crust ((store bought or homemade))
5 Eggs
1 Tablespoon Flour
1 Tablespoon Cornmeal
1 ¾ Cup Granulated Sugar
¼ Teaspoon Salt
1/3 Cup Lemon Juice
2 Tablespoons Lemon Zest
¼ Cup Unsalted Butter ((melted and cooled))

Steps

Preheat the oven to 450°. Place the prepared pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan and press it into the sides. Trim the excess dough and finish the edge as desired. Prick the bottom of the pie crust with a fork and place it in the freezer while you prepare the filling.
In a large bowl whisk together the eggs, flour, cornmeal, sugar, salt, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Slowly whisk in the butter. Set aside.
Bake the chilled pie rust for 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and reduce the temperature to 375°.
Stir the filling once more and then pour into the hot pie crust. Bake on the bottom rack of the oven for 35-40 minutes, until the center slightly jiggles, and the top is lightly browned.
Allow the pie to cool completely before serving.
