Lemon pie mix
Tastes just like the pie my mom made 70 years ago with a similar mix she bought from the Raleigh salesman who came to our house
The McNess Pudding and Pie Mixes were first introduced in 1919. For years they were staples in kitchen pantries across the country. The taste was so delicious that restaurants would use the same mixes to create their pies.
After an absence of almost twenty years and after many, many customer requests, we’ve brought the dessert mixes back.
These are not instant mixes. They are cooked over the stove the old-fashioned way. You need to add your own sugar (or sugar substitute) to the mix. For pies, we recommend adding butter and egg yolks to create a richer base. (See recipe on the side of carton.)
Lemon Dessert Mix
The original formula from earlier years famously had a lemon oil capsule that was added to the mix during cooking. However, we were unable to duplicate this process in a reasonable manner, so we decided the best solution was to add pure lemon oil right into the mix! As soon as you open the can you can smell the lemon! And of course, that natural flavoring can’t be beat. Adjust the sugar as desired.
Makes four 9” pies or 24 servings of pudding.
Ingredients: Corn Starch, Dextrose, Citric Acid, Salt, Lemon Oil, Bright Yellow Food Color.
