This is almost the same recipe my mother had 50 years ago. I made 1/2 the recipe the first time to make fried lemon pies for my son-in-law. They were wonderful, the taste, consistency, everything and so quick and easy to prepare. Now I make the full recipe and double my recipe for dough for fried pies. It's a hit!

Very good recipe. It thickened very quickly. My mom's recipe takes forever to thicken, so I never make lemon pie. Will definitely use this recipe. Thanks so much :)
