Preparation: Cream the butter, stir in eggs, sugar, lemon peel,
nutmeg. The yeast is dissolved in the cream which has been warmed,
stirred into the mixture, then flour added to make a stiff batter. Set
to rise in a warm place. Grease the waffle iron, put in 3
tablespoonfuls of batter, close the iron and bake the waffles light
brown, turning the iron to bake on both sides. Waffles must be baked
and served quickly, because they are apt to lose their crispness and
become tough. When serving, sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon.
No. 16—LEMON PIE.
Quantity for 6 Persons.
¼ lb. of fresh, very cold butter
½ glass of very cold water
1½ cups of flour
For the Filling.
1 large cup of sugar
2 tbsps. of flour
Juice of one large lemon
1 small lemon peel
1 large cup of boiling water
2 tbsps. of boiling water
2 yolks of eggs
1 egg
For Frosting.
2 whites of eggs
6 tbsps. of sugar
Preparation: The 1½ cups of flour are put into a dish, the hard butter
cut into it and rubbed, not kneaded; gradually add ½ glass of cold
water, work lightly, roll it out and line a pie tin with the paste,
making a high rim. Then bake it in oven and prepare the filling. Mix
the sugar with 2 tablespoonfuls of flour, lemon juice, grated lemon
rind and hot water and boil 1 minute, stirring constantly, then cool
and mix in the 2 yolks and one whole egg. Put this filling into the
baked crust and set aside for a few minutes to thicken. The frosting
is made by beating the 2 whites of eggs to a stiff froth, stir in the
6 tablespoonfuls of sugar, cover the pie filling with it and put back
into the oven and bake to a light brown color.

are peeled, cored, sliced, placed into a pie tin lined with paste,
sugar strewn over and baked in oven.
The frosting is then made by beating the 2 yolks of eggs with cream,
sugar, cinnamon and the beaten whites. When the apples in the pie are
