In a large bowl, stir together sugar and butter; blend in flour, salt, lemon peel, and lemon juice. In a small bowl, beat egg yolks to blend; stir in milk. Stir egg mixture into lemon mixture.

In a medium-size bowl, beat eggs whites with an electric mixer on high speed until they hold stiff, moist peaks; gently fold egg whites into lemon mixture. Pour filling into pastry shell. Bake on lowest rack of oven until filling is richly browned on top and center feels set when lightly pressed (45-55 minutes). Let cook on a rack. Serve at room temperature.

Janis says that Aunt Helen made this wonderful pie when she visited her in Portland. This recipe was from a Sunset Magazine article on the "best of" recipes from various decades of the magazine. This was a "best of" from the 1950's.

Savannah recently named this as her favorite dessert! Generations of Good Eating continues!
