1100 | Custard Pie.
—Put four ounces of powdered sugar into a vessel; break in five whole eggs, and with a pastry whip beat together for three minutes. Add one quart of cold milk, and flavor with a teaspoonful of lemon essence; mixing well together for two minutes longer; strain through a sieve into another vessel. Have a deep pie-plate lined exactly the same as for pumpkin pie (No. 1099), and fill it with the above preparation. Place it in a moderate oven, and let bake for thirty minutes, then remove, and let get thoroughly cold; cut the pie into six equal pieces, and with the blade of a knife dress them onto a dessert-dish with a folded napkin, and serve.
