Directions
MRS. J. W. RANKIN.
Two lemons, four eggs, two tablespoonfuls of melted butter, eight tablespoonfuls of pulverized sugar. Grate the rinds and squeeze the juice of the lemons. Separate the yolks from the whites of the eggs and beat the yolks with half the sugar, all the butter, juice and rind well, pour in the crust and bake till the pastry is done. Then beat the whites of the eggs to a stiff froth, add the rest of the sugar, put in on the pie smoothly and bake in a quick oven one minute ; this makes the upper crust.
