Lemon Tartlets.
5 eggs; 5 tablespoonfuls of sugar; 1 quart of milk; ⅓ cup of prepared flour; 1 lemon, a large one—juice and grated peel; a pinch of salt.
Heat the milk; stir in the flour wet with a little cold milk, and heat again, stirring all the while. Pour upon the beaten yolks and sugar; cook for one minute. Take from the fire, and beat in the lemon-juice and grated rind. Have ready, baked and hot, some shells of puff-paste lining “patty-pans.” Fill with the mixture and cover each with a méringue made of the whipped whites and a little powdered sugar. Put into the oven to set, and lightly color the méringue. Eat fresh, but not hot.
Fourth Week. Sunday.
