Orange meringues are favorites, and if made well fairly melt in the mouth. To make filling for these, mix four tablespoons of flour, one cup of sugar, add two eggs slightly beaten, grated rind and juice of an orange, one tablespoon lemon juice and one teaspoon of butter. Cook in double boiler, stirring con- stantly as one would a custard. Turn the mix- ture into individual, thin pastry shells which have been previously baked, cover with mer- ingue and bake until slightly brown. For the meringue take the whites of two eggs beaten until stiff, four tablespoons of powdered sugar, one teaspoon of vanilla
