Ingredients. - Four lemons, four ounces of castor sugar, two ounces of butter, six sponge cakes, six eggs, one pint of milk, paste.

Method. - Put the milk, butter, sugar and grated lemon rind into a stewpan, boil up, let it infuse for about fifteen minutes, then pour over the well-beaten yolks of the eggs, stirring meanwhile. Add the crumbled sponge cakes and lemon juice, mix well together, and pour into a pie-dish, the edges of which must be previously lined and decorated with the paste. (See Apple Amber.) Bake in a moderate oven from thirty to thirty-five minutes, or until the mixture is set, then cover with the stiffly-whisked whites of eggs, and dredge liberally with castor sugar. Replace in the oven until the meringue hardens and acquires a little color.
