- 1 cup sugar
- 3 1/2 Tbsp corn starch
- 1 Tbsp lemon rind, grated
- 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
- 3 egg yolks, slightly beaten
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 baked 9" pie shell
- 1 cup heavy cream, whipped
- Combine sugar, cornstarch, lemon rind, juice, egg yolks and milk in heavy saucepan.
- Cook and stir over medium heat until thick. (Have some patience, it must be thick!)
- Stir in butter and cool mixture to room temperature.
- Stir in sour cream and pour filling into pie shell.
- Cover with whipped cream and garnish with lemon twists or fancy lemon wedge candies.
- Store in refrigerator.
I have used extra creamy whipped topping in place of the whipped cream.
