Lemon Pie

This is a favorite recipe to make and eat! I usually make a double batch for two pies. Just as easy and works fine to double. There is no topping, just the lemon. Takes 10 min. to make and 20 to bake.

Lemon Pie

1 c. sugar

2 T. flour

4 eggs

1T. grated lemon rind (opt.)

6 T. lemon juice

1/2 c. butter, melted

1/2 t. vanilla

1/4 t. almond extract

1 pie shell

1/4 c. slivered almonds (opt.)

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Position oven rack in bottom 1/3 of oven. Stir sugar and flour together in bowl. Add to eggs in another bowl and beat 3 min. until light in color and slightly thickened. Stir in lemon rind, lemon juice, butter, vanilla and almond extract. Pour into pie shell and place on a baking sheet. Bake in lower 1/3 of oven for 20-25 min. until filling is set and lightly browned. If desired, toast slivered almonds in a skillet over med-hi heat, stirring until lightly browned, about 4-5 min. Sprinkle almonds over pie and cool.
