Lemon Custard Pie

This turned out so wonderful that I wish I could take full credit for it, but sadly, I can't.  The original recipe came from Taste Of Home.  I made a few changes so I'll type up what I did and if you want the original, you have the link to that too.

Lemon Custard Pie


Crust

I made a graham cracker crust, because I'm not a fan of regular pie crust.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cup graham crackers crumbs
1/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup butter, melted

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Mix all the ingredients together and then press into the bottom of a spring form pan.
Bake in the oven for about 8 minutes or until golden brown.

Custard Filling

Ingredients:

1 cup sugar
1 tbsp butter, softened
2 eggs, separated
1 cup milk
3 tbsp flour
1/8 tsp salt
1/4 cup lemon juice

Directions:

In a large bowl, beat together the sugar and butter.  Add the egg yolks in, one at a time, letting it mix well between each yolk.  Add the milk, flour and salt.  Mix well.  Stir in the lemon juice and set aside.
In a small bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.  Fold into the lemon mixture.
Pour into the spring form pan on top of the crust.
Bake at 325 degrees for 45 minutes to an hour, until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Let cool, then refrigerate for about 2 or 3 hours.
Serve with whipped cream on top if you like.

Blogmas 2014 - Day 8 What Is On Your Wish List This Year

Oh my goodness, I'm really pretty easy to buy for.  I have pretty much everything a girl could want.  I mean of course I have a few things but I'm not really counting on anything because I already got a huge gift of the new car. I really love scarves, especially infinity scarves right now.  I'm beyond obsessed.   Fun gadgets, appliances, etc for my kitchen are always a win for me as well as cookbooks and decorations.  I'm so into all of it, and it's the best go to gift idea for me. A nice pair of rain boots or wellies.  I just bought some for all of my kids for Christmas, and I've been dying for my own for years. Vera Bradley!  I'm so in love with Vera Bradley.  I'd like a bigger purse, as well as a library tote bag. And honestly I've not asked for any of even these things because what I want more than anything else in the world, is our own house.  I want to buy a house for my kids to grow up in an...

Happy Homemaker Monday

   As I look outside my window::: So far today, it is cold and gloomy! Right now I am:::  Sitting on the couch under my crocheted afghan. Thinking and pondering::: On Thanksgiving!  What to fix.  I think I'm getting carried away, but I love it.  On my bedside table::: I haven't been doing much reading lately and I should. Duck Commander Family by Willie and Korie Robertson Frozen by Sarah Nathan and Sela Roman On my tv tonight::: American Horror Story Some Doctor Who specials Playing on the radio::: I don't have anything playing right now, but I'm obsessed with James Blunt's new song, Bonfire Heart. The video is amazing too.  I love the story behind the video.  The people in it are NOT actors.  The wedding scene towards the end, he actually crashed a wedding and captured the bride and grooms first dance.  Amazing.  And, not only is his voice and music wonderful, he's a total hottie. On the menu for ...

Blogmas 2014 - Day 13 How Are You Counting Down To Christmas

Ok, honestly....  I'm not.  I have this gorgeous advent calendar that is 3 building with little numbered doors all over them.  I haven't gotten it out for lack of space and really small children.  Maybe next year.  Also, Ben has been all over the lego ones and stuff so I figure, I'll pick up some next year or as I see them now this year, so each kid can have their own next year.  I don't know maybe I'll just make them if I'm feeling crafty and find the time.  It actually hit us all at once on Saturday that Christmas was less than 2 weeks away.
