Lemon Butter Pie or Tart. Richest

1 pound of sugar. 5 lemons. 4 ounces of butter. 8 yolks of eggs. 1 whole egg. Make a boiling lemon syrup of the sugar, grated rinds and juice of the lemons--no water needed--and throw in the butter. When that is melted stir in the eggs. Let simmer on the range about 10 minutes.

Make the pies small, the paste rolled very thin, and bake dry.
