Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350ðF (175ðC). Place the unbaked pastry shell on a baking sheet.
  2. Bake the pastry shell for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and crisp. Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
  3. In a medium saucepan, whisk together egg yolks, sugar, lemon juice, and zest over medium heat.
  4. Cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 5-7 minutes). Do not boil.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in softened butter until fully melted and smooth.
  6. Pour the warm lemon filling into the cooled pie crust.
  7. Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is firmly set.
  8. Before serving, top with whipped cream or meringue if desired.
