  • 1 tsp. grated lemon peel
  • 4 egg whites
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 cup sugar

Directions

  1. 1
    These recipes call for starting with a baked 9-inch pie shell. Again I prefer Albertsons ready-made crust.
  2. 2
    Remove one crust from the package and let warm up to room temperature, about one hour should do it.
  3. 3
    Remove a single crust and unfold.
  4. 4
    Prepare pie dish by spraying with Pam all natural spray.
  5. 5
    Wiping off excess spray with a paper towel.
  6. 6
    Unfold the pie crust--repair any tares by following the makers instructions.
  7. 7
    On the side of the crust that will face down on the pie dish put a heaping teaspoon of flour. Spread the flour evenly from the center of the crust to the very edges of the crust.
  8. 8
    Brush off excess flour; place floured side down in pie dish.
  9. 9
    Carefully fit crust into pie dish.
  10. 10
    Cut off excess crust, crimp edges of crust onto lip of pie dish using a table fork.
  11. 11
    Also you can use pie rings on edge for excellent results.
  12. 12
    Baste crust lightly with milk and bake to makers instructions.
  13. 13
    This should give you a beautiful golden brown crust. Let crust cool completely.
