Ingredients:
Pie pastry crust 4 slightly beaten eggs 1-1/2 c. sugar 1/4 c. melted butter 2 t. lemon zest 2 T. lemon juice 1 T. cornmeal 1-1/2 t. vanilla 1/2 c. light raisins
Directions:
Line pastry-lined 9” pie plate with a double thickness of aluminum foil. Bake at 450°F for 5 minutes; remove foil and bake 5 minutes more. In a mixing bowl stir eggs, sugar, margarine, lemon zest, lemon juice, cornmeal and vanilla until well mixed; stir in raisins. Place pastry shell on the oven rack. Pour in the filling. Cover the edge of the pie with aluminum foil to prevent over-browning. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F and bake 20 minutes. Remove foil. Bake 20 to 25 minutes more, until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. Cover and chill to store.
