LEMON CREAM PIE 
2/3 c. sugar
3 tbsp. cornstarch
1 c. milk
4 egg yolks
1 tsp. finely grated lemon peel
1/4 c. lemon juice
1/4 c. butter, softened
1 c. sour cream
1 (9-inch) pie shell, baked and cooled

Mix sugar and cornstarch in a microwave 8-cup measuring cup. Whisk in milk until smooth; add yolks until well blended. Stir in lemon peel and juice. Add butter. Heat in microwave until just before it boils, about 5 minutes. Remove and stir.

If needed, use an eggbeater until mixture is very smooth. Cover and place in refrigerator about 1 hour until cold. After mixture is cold, stir in sour cream until well blended. Pour into pie shell. Garnish with Cool Whip. Chill overnight.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
