Very good pie. I topped it with a meringue, very easy to make. The filling is smooth and the sugar to lemon ratio is perfect. It took about 15 minutes to brown the meringue. I'll make this again. -
I'm so sorry, but we really didn't care for this filling. I think what we didn't like is the sour cream. The sour cream flavor was a bit overwhelming. The lemon mixture tasted good before we added the sour cream. It must just be a personal preference thing, which is why I chose not to rate it. -
Great recipe! Made it for the employees at work. It's easy to make, has a great flavour, not too sweet not too tart. Thanks!
