Notes: June 2020 This recipe was submitted by Great Grandma Eunice Krack in the Krack/Hughes cookbook. Lemon is one of Grandma Siegel's favorite flavors for sweets! I made it with the instant pudding, and Jazz and Braeden invited Grandma and me to her Studio Apartment in the old 1921 building. It was a hit, though I couldn't get the crust golden brown so it was a bit crunchy. It didn't have a very strong lemon taste, but was good nonetheless.
August 2020 I am trying it again, this time with the cooked lemon pie filling/pudding. I used 2 3.4 oz boxes. I plan to drop some off for Momma on my way to meet Jasmine for supper at Hy-Vee. I'll let you know how they compare.
