Lemon Pie (VII)

Mrs. Carson.

One lemon, juice and rind grated, one cup of sugar yolks of two eggs, one cup of water, one heaped tablespoonful of corn starch; put all in a small tin pail, stand the pail in a pot of boiling water, and boil thick ; make a nice puff paste, line the plate and cook the paste alone; when done a very light brown pour in your mixture; put on the top the whites of the eggs beaten stiff with sugar.
