Fried Egg-plant.
Please see Sunday, First Week in August.
Open Apple Custard Tart.
12 juicy, tart apples; 1 cup of sugar; grated peel of a lemon; 1 pint of milk; 3 eggs, and 3 tablespoonfuls of sugar, for the custard; good pie-paste.
Put a border of pie-crust around the flat brim of a pie-plate, without lining the bottom. Fill the plate with sliced apple, sugared, with lemon-peel scattered here and there. Put in a little water. Cover with a crust, in the centre of which you have marked a circle with a cake-cutter, or large tumbler. Bake the pie; with a sharp knife, cut out the marked circle, lift the centre-piece, and fill the inside of the pie with a warm custard made of the milk, eggs, and sugar, boiled until it begins to thicken. Eat cold.
