Lemon Pie - cooking recipe

Ingredients

juice of two lemons
grated rind of 1 lemon
2 Tbsp. cornstarch
3 eggs, separated
1 1/2 c. sugar
3 Tbsp. flour
1 tsp. butter
2 c. boiling water

Preparation

Sift flour, cornstarch and sugar into a saucepan.
Add butter. Add lemon juice to the egg yolks and beat until they are thick and velvety.
Add this to the sugar, cornstarch, butter and flour mixture.
Stir until free of lumps.
You may add a few tablespoons of cold water to make it thin enough not to lump.
Pour the boiling water over lemon mixture.
Set on stove and let come to a boil, stirring constantly.
And here is the secret: your pie will have a better flavor if it scorches just a tiny bit.
Add grated lemon rind.
Let cool, stirring often.
