This recipe was extracted from Original White House Cookbook (1887) by Hugo Ziemann, F. L. Gillette, Hugo Zimmerman, mrs gillette, page 234. The excerpt below is the record exactly as published.

WASHINGTON PIE. This recipe is the same as “ Boston Cream Pie ” (adding half an ounce of buttter), which may be found under the head of Pastry, Pies and Tarts. In summer time, it is a good plan to bake the pie the day before wanted ; then when cool, wrap around it a paper and place it in the ice box so as to have it get very cold ; then serve it with a dish of fresh straw- berries or raspberries

Cook this with the app: pantry check, scaling, and the assistant.
