One lemon cut in 1 cup of cold water. Heat slowly and simmer a few minutes. Strain out the rinds and seeds, pressing all the juice out. Add 1 cup of sugar and 1 tablespoonful of corn starch dissolved in cold water. Cook this till it thickens, and then add the beaten yolks of 2 eggs. Bake the crust separately, fill it with the mixture. Beat the whites stiff with 1 teaspoonful of sugar. Spread on top and brown.
One cup of sugar, 2/3 cup of water, 3 tablespoonfuls of flour, 1 piece of butter size of an egg. Grate the rind of 1 lemon, slice the inside very thin and lay in the bottom of the pan, before putting the custard in. If the lemon is good this will make 2 pies. Make crust the same as for custard pie.
The juice and grated rind of 2 lemons, 1/2 teacup butter, 4 spoonfuls Cream, 6 eggs, 3 cups sugar, 1/2 pint milk. The lemons, yolks, and butter beaten together, then add sugar, whites and Cream. 3 pies.
