  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a mixing bowl, combine sugar, cornmeal, flour and salt; mix to blend. Add eggs, on at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in melted butter, milk, lemon juice, and peel. Blend well. Pour mixture into the unbaked pastry shell. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes, or until a knife inserted in center comes out clean.
