LEMON PIE Mix one and two-thirds cups of sugar with two-thirds cups flour, grated rind and juice of two lemons, yolks of four eggs, pinch of salt, butter size of an egg, two small cups of water. Cook until thick, put in cooked pastry, add meringue and let brown. — MRS. SAM HAIRSTON. PLAIN PASTRY Sift together two or three times, one and one-half cups of sifted pastry flour, one-fourth teaspoon of salt, one-fourth teaspoon of baking powder. With the tips of the fingers or a knife work in one-third of a cup of short- ening, when this is evenly mixed through the flour, gradually mix to a dough, using a case knife with cold water; about one-fourth cup will be needed. Work the dough with the knife until all the particles of dough are in a compact mass and the bowl is clean, then dredge the board with flour and lift the dough onto it. Turn it with the knife until floured a little, then pat and roll out into a rectangular sheet. Roll up like a jelly roll, cover closely and set aside in a cold place and let stand for an hour or longer. RECIPE FOR MERINGUE Beat the whites of eggs to a stiff froth, add gradually, one heaping table- spoon of sifted sugar for each egg, and continue to beat until the mixture is stiff and glossy. Spread this over the partially cooled pie or pudding and place in a very cool oven to rise and dry out before coloring a delicate brown. If baked quickly the meringue will be tough. When wanted for picnics it is well to add more sugar to the meringue making it more on t the order of an icing. Flavor if liked. BUTTER SCOTCH PIE One cup of sugar (brown sugar preferred), lump of butter size of an egg, yolks of two eggs, one-half cup of sweet cream, two tablespoons of flour, flavor with vanilla. Cook to stiff paste, bake in one crust. When done spread with meringue made of whites of two eggs and three tablespoons of sugar. LEMON PIE One lemon, grated rind and juice, one cup of sugar, one and one-half tablespoons of flour, one cup of sweet milk, three eggs, reserving whites of two for frosting
