Cocoa-nut Pie (No. 1.) ✠

• ½ lb. grated cocoa-nut.
• ¾ lb. white sugar (powdered.)
• 6 oz. butter.
• 5 eggs—the whites only.
• 1 glass white wine.
• 2 tablespoonfuls rose-water.
• 1 tablespoonful nutmeg.

Cream the butter and sugar, and when well mixed, beat very light, with the wine and rose-water. Add the cocoanut with as little and as light beating as possible; finally, whip in the stiffened whites of the eggs with a few skillful strokes, and bake at once in open shells. Eat cold, with powdered sugar sifted over them.

These are very pretty and delightful pies.
