Preparation Time1 hr 30 min
Cooking Vessel SizeStandard Mixer, saucepan, Rubber Spatula, 8x8 baking pan
Ingredients
- 1 Pie Crust
- 1 cup Cornstarch
- 1 cup Granulated Sugar

Preheat the oven to 400F. Using an 8×8 inch pan, roll out the pie crust and cut to fit the bottom of the dish. Cut to be slightly bigger than the bottom since it will shrink as it cooks. Spray the 8×8 pan with non-stick spray and lay the pie crust dough into the bottom.
-
Into a 2 quart saucepan add the cornstarch, sugar, and salt. Give a quick whisk. Whisk the warm water, lemon juice, and zest into the saucepan. Turn the burner on medium-low. Stir until the mixture begins to boil. Remove from the heat.
