Hi, Susan!

I think I found the recipe you are talking about on allrecipes.com. So sorry to hear that your pie was still raw.
As I am sure you saw, my recipe has butter, but almost no liquid: just 1 Tablespoon of lemon juice. The Bill Clinton recipe has 1/4 cup of lemon juice and 1 cup of milk. Along with the 5 eggs, that’s a lot of moisture, so that’s probably why it took so long to cook (not sure why it appeared to be cooked with the toothpick test, though…but based on my recipe, the Bill Clinton recipe seems to be a lot of liquid).

Like I said, I’m sorry your pie didn’t turn out as you would have liked. However, I guarantee that if you make my recipe, you will like it, so please consider giving it a try. I know you will reply saying that you made it and loved it, haha!🍋🥧

Have a great weekend!

I read all the reviews and followed the recipe only changing one cup of milk to half cup of milk and half cup of half & half. It also called for 5 beaten eggs (which I thought was a lot).
I baked in an unbaked pie crust according to instructions. After required baking time and pie passed toothpick test, I removed from oven and let cool on wire rack several hours
When I cut into the pie it was uncooked and pie crust still raw! Had to bake another 40 minutes! Must have required longer for 5 eggs? Disappointing. Your thoughts?
