How to make Lemony Amish Custard Cottage Cheese Pie

Step 3: Combine the cottage cheese, sugar, flour, lemon juice, salt, egg yolks, evaporated milk, and regular milk in a large bowl.
Step 4: Beat the egg whites in a separate bowl until firm and fold in the butter until smooth. Pour this into the pie crust.

Step 6: Remove from the oven and onto a wire rack to cool. Place in the fridge to set. Enjoy the next day.
