 20 - Thanksgiving Pie

We looked for a good sour cream lemon pie recipe for a while and finally found this one from Crisco. The secret is to add the sour cream after the filling is cool. It's Kerry's favorite pie.

Bottom Crust: Buttermilk

Sour Cream Lemon With Wax Paper

Filling:
1 cup sugar
1 cup milk
3 egg yolks, slightly beaten
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
3-1/2 Tablespoons cornstarch
1 Tablespoon grated lemon peel
1/4 cup butter
1 cup sour cream

Prepare bottom crust by baking at 450 F and cool crust completely.

Finished Sour Cream Lemon

In a medium, heavy saucepan, over medium heat, stir together sugar, milk, egg yolks, lemon juice, cornstarch and lemon peel. Cook, stirring, until mixture becomes thick. Remove from heat, stir in butter and allow mixture to cool at room temperature. When filling is cool, stir in sour cream. Pour filling into prepared pie crust and smooth the top with a rubber spatula. Refrigerate pie at least 4 hours before serving. Garnish with whipped cream and lemon peel strips.
