Evening Republican, Volume 16, Number 185, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 3 August 1912 — Mother’s Lemon Pie. [ARTICLE]

Mother’s Lemon Pie.

Grated rind and juice of one lemon, one cup boiling water, one cup sugar, yolks of two eggs, butter size of an egg, one slice white bread broken fine (about one cup). Beat the yolks of eggs well and add to the sugar and butter. Pour the boiling water onto the bread and stir until well mixed, then add the sugar, eggs and butter. Bake in a deep plate lined with pastry; when done whip the whites of the eggs to a stiff froth; add one tablespoonful sugar; pile this upon the top of the pie and return to the oven until it is a delicate brown. This is the nicest lemon pie I ever tasted.
