Sour Cream Lemon Pie

Ingredients:
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups milk
3 egg yolks
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup butter
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon zest
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 (9 inch) pie crust, baked

Directions:
In a saucepan, combine sugar, flour, and salt. Gradually stir in milk. Cook and stir on medium heat until thickened and bubbly. Reduce heat, and cook and stir 2 more minutes. Remove from heat.
Beat yolks slightly. Gradually stir 1 cup of mix into yolks. Return yolk mixture to saucepan, and bring to gentle boil. Cook and stir 2 more minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in butter, peel, and juice. Fold in sour cream.
Pour filling into baked pie shell, and cool. Top with whipped cream if desired.

Absolutely fantastic! Tastes every bit as good as Marie Callendar's Sour Cream Lemon!
