Follow The Directions
01
Step
2 mins
In a double boiler or a heatproof bowl set over a simmering pot of water (making sure the bowl doesn't touch the water), whisk together the sugar and flour until well combined. (2 minutes)
02
Step
3 mins
Gradually whisk in the vinegar, beaten eggs, and water until the mixture is smooth and lump-free. (3 minutes)
03
Step
15 mins
Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly with a whisk or spatula, until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. This should take about 10-15 minutes. Be patient and continue stirring to prevent scorching.
04
Step
2 mins
Remove the bowl from the heat and stir in the butter and lemon extract until the butter is fully melted and incorporated. (2 minutes)
05
Step
1 mins
Pour the warm filling into the pre-baked pie crust, spreading it evenly. (1 minute)
06
Step
2 hrs
Let the pie cool to room temperature, then cover it loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the filling to set completely. (2+ hours)
07
Step
Serve chilled. You can top it with whipped cream or a dusting of powdered sugar, if desired.
For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of regular butter. Simply melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat and cook until it turns a nutty brown color before adding it to the filling.
If you don't have lemon extract, you can substitute it with a teaspoon of lemon zest.
Be sure to use a pre-baked pie crust to prevent the crust from becoming soggy.

Jun 19, 2025I was skeptical at first, but this pie is surprisingly good! The vinegar gives it a nice tang that's not overpowering.
