I love those recipes that we all grew up with, they are just too good to miss out on.
This sweet and simple pie is a family favourite!! My grandma used to make it for us when we were kids and now I made for my dad and it came out really great!! Definitely a keeper!To Make this Recipe You’ Will Need the following ingredients:

2. To Make Lemon Filling: In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1 cup sugar, flour, cornstarch, and salt. Stir in water, lemon juice and lemon zest. Then please cook over medium-high heat and stir frequently until mixture comes to a boil. Stir in butter. Pick a small bowl and place in egg yolks and gradually whisk in 1/2 cup of hot sugar mixture.
