Ingredients

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Lightly grease pie plate with non-stick spray
  • Unroll a ready-to-bake pie crust and lay it onto a pie plate
  • Crimp the edges around the pie plate, tucking under extra crust to create a uniform look.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add the butter and sugar and cream together.
  • Next, add the flour and cornmeal to the sugar mixture.
  • Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well between each.
  • Once the batter is smooth and well mixed, add the milk, vanilla extract and lemon juice and combine.
  • Pour the batter into the unbaked pie shell.
  • Bake the pie at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes. After this time, use foil to lightly cover the entire pie.
  • Bake again for another 15-25 minutes or until the center is no longer jiggly.
  • Remove the pie to cool.
  • Allow the pie to cool thoroughly before slicing. Dust with powdered sugar or add a dollop of whipped cream before serving.
  • It’s best to keep covered and stored in the refrigerator.
