I accidentally posted a recipe for Easy Cherry Cobbler in the Christmas cookie thread and did not want to compound my error by deliberately posting another non-cookie recipe. However, when I was looking through one of my favorite recipe books (the ones where one jots down favorite recipes on blank pages), I found one for Sour Cream and Lemon Pie. I thought of Mara and thought I would post it along with my recipes for Easy Cherry Cobbler and Creme de menthe Brownies. Then I realized that a pie is not a Christmas cookie.
I decided that this forum really needed a thread for lemon and lime pie recipes. (When I write, "lime" I mean Key lime and regular lime, btw.) Somewhere my mother has a great lime pie recipe, too.
If there is already a thread like this, please tell me and I will link this one to it!
1 cup sugar
1 cup butter
3 T. cornstarch
1/4 cup lemon juice
grated rind of lemon
3 egg yolks
1 cup milk
1 cup sour cream
1 baked 9" pie shell
1/2 cup heavy cream, whipped
1. Combine the sugar and cornstarch in a saucepan. Add the butter, lemon juice, rind, egg yolks, and milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened and smooth. Chill.
2. Fold the sour cream into the chilled lemon mixture and spoon into the baked pie shell. Chill well. serve topped with whipped cream.
