Lucious Lemon Pie

This is a favorite at Thanksgiving. It's from our Nielsen family cookbook, submitted by Sheri Nielsen.

1 c. sugar
3 T. cornstarch
1/4 c. water
1 T. butter
1 T. grated lemon rind
1/4 c. lemon juice
3 unbeaten egg yolks
1 c. milk
1 c. sour cream
1 baked pie shell
Whipped cream

Make a paste with the cornstarch and water. Combine in a saucepan with the sugar. Add butter, lemon rind, lemon juice, and egg yolks. Cook over medium heat stirring constantly until thick. Cool completely. Fold in sour cream. Spoon into baked pie shell. Chill at least 2 hours. Serve with whipped cream on top.
