Pastry, 2 ordinary coffee cups of flour, ½ teaspoonful salt sifted together. Work in 1 coffee cup of lard and butter mixed. Lastly add ½ coffee cup ice water. Divide into three after mixing and roll out very thin. This amount of pastry will line three pie plates six inches in diameter. Get all the materials for the filling before you begin the pastry. After rolling out and lining the plates in the stove, which must be at degree of heat suitable to cook biscuit, then as quickly as you can work together in a bowl 1 cup butter, 2 cups brown sugar, 1 teaspoonful extract of vanilla. Beat whites and yellows of eggs separately, mix together in another bowl. Add cup sweet milk with dessert spoonful of cornstarch. Add this to the sugar, butter and molasses. Beat for a few minutes and fill the pie plates in the stove. Cooking the pastry a few minutes before adding the filling prevents the pastry from having a heavy, soggy look. In summer use 2½ cups flour to cup of lard and butter. Cook until well risen and brown on top.
