Orange Pie. ✠

• 3 eggs.
• ¾ cup of white sugar.
• 2 tablespoonfuls butter.
• 1 orange—juice and half the grated rind.
• ½ lemon—juice and grated peel.
• Nutmeg to taste.

Cream the butter and sugar, beating in the orange and lemon until very light; add the beaten yolks, fill two pastry shells and bake. Beat the whites stiff with two tablespoonfuls powdered sugar, and when the pies are done, spread over them, returning to the oven for three or four minutes.
