Lemon Pie. Southern

2 pounds of sugar. 1 pint of water. 9 lemons. 2 ounces of butter. 12 eggs. Cut 3 of the lemons in thin slices and keep them to strew in the pies when filled. Grate the others into the sugar, squeeze in the juice, add water, make the mixture hot to draw the lemon flavor, then mix in the eggs well beaten. Let the lemon slices float in the pies; bake, and sift powdered sugar over when done.
