Lemon Pie
- 1 lemon, grated
- 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 3/4 cup sugar
- Butter size of egg
- 1 cup hot water
- Yolks of 2 eggs
Cook in double boiler, let it cool a little, then put in yolks last, after the other ingredients are well cooked. To prepare the lemon, grate off the outside, taking care to get only the yellow (the white is bitter), then squeeze out the juice. Bake your pie crust first, then add lemon filling; keep the whites for the meringue. Whip up the whites stiff, add a moderate amount of pulverized sugar, then spread on top of pie, and put in the oven for a few minutes (be patient, you rascal).
