Preparation Steps
- Place pie crust in a 9-inch pie plate. Chill for at least 1 hour or freeze for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Line the chilled pie crust with parchment paper and fill with pie weights. Bake for 10 minutes. Carefully remove from oven and remove pie weights.
- While the pie crust is pre-baking, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and eggs in a medium bowl.
- Whisk in the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, lemon juice, milk, lemon zest, and salt until smooth.
- Pour the lemon filling mixture into the partially baked pie crust. Cover the edges of the crust with a pie shield or strips of aluminum foil to prevent burning. Place the pie on a baking sheet.
- Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the pie is golden on top and the center wiggles only slightly when gently shaken.
- Cool the pie completely on a wire rack before slicing. Store in the refrigerator. Serve at room temperature, plain, or with whipped cream or ice cream.
