AUNT FANNIE'S LEMON PIE

Aunt Fannie was a dear family friend from Beaufort, NC.  My mother and her were great pals and every time we would come stateside for home leave, we would visit with her and often she would make this pie for us.  My sister Anita shared it with me from my other sister, Sue’s food blog. 

1 cup sugar

1 1/4 cup water

1 tablespoon butter

1/4 cup cornstarch

3 tablespoons cold water

2 egg yolks

2 tablespoons milk

1/2 cup fresh lemon juice

1 tablespoon grated lemon peel

Combine sugar, water add butter. Heat until sugar dissolves. Blend corn starch and cold water; add to hot mixture. Cook slowly until clear-about 8 minutes.

Beat egg yolks with milk. Slowly stir into cornstarch mixture.

Remove from heat. Add lemon juice and peel. Pour into baked shell.

Add meringue if wanted and brown.

Aunt Fannie Willis was a phenomenal cook...everything she made was wonderful and I'm so very happy to have her Lemon Pie recipe!!!
