Crust:
Preheat oven to 350°.
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (get the cheap ones -- already crumbled)
2 teaspoons sugar
5 teaspoons butter melted
Mix crumbs and sugar; add butter. I mix this with my hands. Press into a 9-inch pie pan. Cook 8 minutes.
Pie:
3 egg yolks
1 can sweetened condensed milk (I use Eagle Brand)
1/2 cup lemon juice
Beat yolks with rotary beater. Stir in milk and eggs. Mix well. Pour into baked crust. Bake 30 minutes.
I make meringue by beating egg whites until they froth. Add 1/4 cup plus 1 heaping teaspoon sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla while beating. Return pie to oven baking until meringue browns. Some people add whipped cream. Either way is wonderful!
I can smell mine baking now. Yummy.
