er top of berries, cover
with top crust with vents cut in to allow steam to escape, pinch edges
of crust together to prevent juice escaping from pie, and bake.

FLORENDINE PIE

To 2 apples, cooked soft and mashed fine (after having been pared and
cored) add the yolk of one egg (well beaten) one minute before
removing the cooked apple from the range. Then add 1 small cup of
sugar, a piece of butter the size of a hickory nut, 1 teaspoonful of
flour; flavor with either lemon or vanilla. Line a pie-tin with rich
pastry crust. Pour in the mixture and bake in a quick oven. This makes
a delicious old-fashioned dessert.

AUNT SARAH'S CHEESE CAKE

Prepare the following for one cheese cake, to be baked in a pie-tin
lined with pastry crust:

One heaping cup of rich, creamy "smier kase," or cottage cheese, was
placed in a bowl, finely mashed with a spoon until free from lumps.
Then mixed smooth with 2 tablespoonfuls of sweet milk, 1 tablespoonful
of softened butter was added, a pinch of salt, about 3/4 cup of sugar,
1-1/4 table spoonfuls of flour (measure with an ordinary silver
tablespoon). One large egg was beaten into the mixture when it was
smooth and creamy, 1 cup of milk was added. After adding all the
different ingredients the mixture should measure about 3-3/4 cups and
should be very thin. Pour the mixture into a pastry-lined pie-tin.
This is one of the most delicious pies imaginable, if directions given
are closely followed. Bake in a moderately hot oven until cheese
custard is "set" and nicely browned on top, then allow the oven door
to remain open about five minutes before removing the "pie," as I
should call it, but Bucks County farmers' wives, when speaking of
them, invariably say "cheese cakes." Should the housewife possess
"smier kase," _not_ rich and creamy, use instead of the one
tablespoonful of sweet milk, one tablespoonful of sweet cream.

"FRAU SCHMIDT'S" LEMON PIE

Grated yellow rind and juice of one lemon, 1 cup of sugar, 1 cup of
molasses, 1 egg, butter, size of a walnut; 1 tablespoonful of corn
starch, 3/4 cup of water. Cream together the butter, sugar and egg,
add the corn starch moistened with a little cold water, add grated
rind and juice of one lemon, molasses, and lastly add water. Cook all
ingredients together. When cool fill 2 or 3 small pie-tins lined with
rich pastry; cover with top crust and bake.
