Lemon Pie

Posted on December 15, 2025 By gaylascookbook_itw6oh

The Captain’s Favourite. For crust: Take any biscuit cutter and cut from puff paste very thinly rolled, the bottom crust. Around the edge I curl a narrow strip of the paste and bake. While they are baking, I take my lemon and do not roll it but grate it after the yellow rind is all grated I squeeze in the juice and a cup of sugar and the yolk of one egg. Stir well together. Upon this I pour a large cup of cold water (no milk) into which has been stirred a dessertspoonful of corn starch. Put all into a saucepan and stir until it is cooked into a rich, clear straw-coloured jelly. My crust being done, I fill them and take the white of the egg and beat. Put on the top and bake till just brown about a minute “very nice.”-“The Captain’s Comment”
