My mother got this recipe from an Israeli lady many years ago while living in Israel as a newlywed. It has been our family’s favorite for as long as I can remember.
1 cup flour
1/2 cup oil
1/4 cup confectioners sugar
1 and 1/4 cups cold water+1/4 c water, divided
1/4 cup+ 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice, divided
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup corn starch
3 beaten egg yolks
3 tablespoons oil
3 egg whites
1/3 cup confectioners sugar
Preheat oven to 375F.
In a bowl combine flour oil and confectioners sugar until a coarse crumb forms. Press into a round oven to tableware dish.
Bake pie shell for 10-12 minutes.
Combine 1 and 1/4 cups cold water, 1/4 cup lemon juice and the sugar in a saucepan. Bring to a boil. After sauce boils allow to cool completely.
Combine 1/4 cup water and corn starch and add to the cooled lemon mixture.
Add egg yolks and bring to a full boil. Sauce should be thick like pudding. Shut flame.

why did my lemon mixture burn when i put it on boil?
How long did you boil is for?
When combining the pie ingredients, I got a runny mixture, not coarse crumbs. Is there a typo?
Hi Ratzy. What was runny; the filling or pie crust mixture?
can this be frozen?
Yes!
