INSTRUCTIONS
This pie is especially excellent when Meyers lemons are used. It is easy and delicious! You may also use regular lemons, however.

2 lemons
2 C sugar
4 eggs
pastry for 2 crusts

Preheat oven to 450F. Slice lemons paper thin; place in bowl. Add sugar; mix and let stand 2 hours. Line a pie plate with pastry; prick bottom and sides thoroughly with a fork. Beat eggs; pour over the lemon/sugar mixture. Mix. Fill pie shell with mixture; add top crust. Crimp edges and cut vents in top. Bake in (preheated) 450 F oven for 15 min. Reduced temperature to 375F and bake until knife inserted comes out clean and crusts are done. Yield: 6-8 servings.
