Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375ºF. Roll out your pie dough for a 9-inch pie. Place in a pie plate and crimp the edges. Place a piece of parchment paper over the crust and fill with pie weights or dry beans. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then remove from the oven and remove the parchment and the beads. Lower the oven temperature to 350ºF.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, cornmeal, eggs, and egg yolk.
- Add the milk, lemon juice, butter, lemon zest, and both extracts. Whisk until combined.
- Pour the mixture into the par-baked pie crust. Place the pie on a baking sheet and transfer to the oven.
- Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the middle is slightly jiggly. Cover the pie edges with foil or with a pie shield if it starts to get too dark.
- Let the pie cool completely before slicing. Store in the refrigerator.
