Preparation

Step 1

1.In a medium bowl, mix together the egg yolks, lemon juice, lemon zest, and salt.
2.Over medium heat, whisk together the cornstarch, water, sugar, and butter until mixture begins to thicken. Remove from heat.
3.Pour half of the hot mixture into the egg yolk mixture and whisk well immediately. Pour that mixture back into the sugar and water mixture and whisk well again. Mixture should be smooth and thick. Scrape pie filling into the pre-baked pie crust.
