Huckleberry Pie

Carefully wash and drain the berries and sift flour over them until each berry becomes a little white ball. Allow one' scanty cup of sugar to each pie, stir it well into the fruit, and turn the latter into the pie plates. Cover each pie with an upper crust, and bake one hour. Serve cold, with sugar sifted over the top. Flouring the berries in this way, while still a little wet from the washing will make just enough thickening to counteract the excessive amount of juice these berries are capable of giving off. Note: Many good authorities recommend that sugar be added after the pie is baked. The juice is less liable to overflow and the fruit has a fresher taste.
