Ex Mother-In-Law's Lemon Pie

My ex mother-in-law had lots of weird and wonderful concoctions and this was one of the better ones, a nice dessert for any occasion

Things you will need:-
8" Flan or pie dish

1 450g tin of condensed milk
1 large egg, beaten

1 lemon (juice only but you may want to add some zest to give it extra zip)

1 packet of Marie biscuits (if you can't get hold of these then digestive or nice will do)
2oz low fat margarine or butter (melted)

Step 1
Crush all the biscuits in a large bowl then add the melted butter, mix well and put butter biscuit mix in flan or pie dish and smooth out to cover bottom of dish, firm down with the back of a spoon.

Step 2
Mix together the condensed milk, beaten egg and juice from the lemon (if you want to use zest you can add it to mixture at this point or alternatively sprinkle over top at end).

Step 3
Pour condensed milk mixture into flan base you now have two options, you can either put the pie in the fridge and leave to chill for an hour or so, or if you prefer a firmer pie you can put it into an oven on medium heat (gas mark 4) and cook for 30 minutes

Step 4
Eat and enjoy!

For a deeper pie or if using an 11" flan dish you need to double up the condensed milk and add another egg, ingredients for base will remain the same.
