Orange Pie
1 orange.
1 cup of water.
1 small cup of sugar.
2 teaspoonfuls corn-starch.
Butter the size of a hickory-nut.
Yolk of one egg.
Grate the rind of the orange, and then squeeze out the juice.
Beat the yolk of the egg, add the water, with the corn-starch stirred in,
orange juice and rind and butter, and cook till it grows rather thick.
Bake your crust first; then bake the orange filling in it; then beat the
white of your egg with a tablespoonful of granulated sugar, and put over it
and brown.
This is an especially nice rule.
Lemon Pie
Make exactly as you did the orange-pie, but put in a good-sized cup of sugar
instead of a small one, with a lemon in place of the orange.
