1 cup plus 2 tbsp. sugar
1 cup plus 2 tbsp. warm water
4 tbsp. cornstarch
2 egg yolks, beaten
2 tbsp. butter
3 tbsp. lemon juice
1 tbsp. grated lemon rind (yellow only)
2-3 drops of pure lemon oil (do not overdo!)
1 pre-baked or Graham pie crust

Stir together the first 3 ingredients in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and boil for 1 minute. Add 2 egg yolks and boil for 1 minute more.

Next, stir in butter, lemon juice and rind.

Pour into a lined pie dish and refrigerate for several hours before serving.

If desired, this pie may be topped with a meringue made from 2 beaten egg whites beaten until stiff with 3 tbsp. sugar, and run under the broiler until lightly browned.
