After dissolving the acid stir the yolk and sugar together, and mix with the acid and water, then the extract, then cracker crumbled in. Bake in crust as for custard pie, and cover with the white of an egg and brown. Many prefer this to pie made with the lemon. Raisin Pie. Take one pound of raisins, turn over them one quart of boiling water and boil one hour. Keep adding water, so there will be a quart when done. Grate the rind of one lemon into one cup of sugar, three spoonfuls of flour and one egg. Mix well together. Turn the raisins over the mixture, stirring the while. This makes three pies.
