From Miss Sallie Carmany
Three lemons, 4 eggs, 12 tablespoonfuls powdered sugar, 3 tablespoonfuls water (cold), 3 tablespoonfuls melted butter. Beat the yolks and sugar together, then add the water and grated rind and juice. The last thing before putting it in the oven add the butter. After the pie is baked, beat the whites of the eggs to a froth (stiff), and spread over and set in the oven a few moments to brown.
From Mrs. S. F. Mayer
To the juice and grated peel of 2 lemons, add yolks of 4 eggs (not beaten), and 8 tablespoonfuls of light brown sugar. Mix well, and bake without an upper crust. To the 4 whites, beaten to a stiff froth, add 6 tablespoon fuls of pulverized sugar; beat well and spread on the baked pie while hot; return to oven and slightly brown. This makes one large pie.
