Since we have carried so few pie recipes, we thought you might enjoy having the lemon pie recipe which is being used by the Guadalupe County Home Demonstration Clubs this year.  It is the recipe which has ben used by the Home Demonstration agent in her demonstrations at the club meetings so we doubt that you'll find a better recipe.
    LEMON PIE
    1 1/2 cups sugar
    7 tablespoons cornstarch
    1 1/2 cups boiling water
    3   egg yolks
    3 tablespoons butter  
    4 tablespoons lemon juice
    1 1/2 tablespoons grated lemon rind
    (if a stiffer filling is desired, increase the cornstarch to 8 tablespoons)
    Mix sugar and cornstarch; stir in boiling water and cook over direct heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and boils; then set over boiling water and cook 10 minutes longer,  Beat eggs slightly and beat in a little of the hot mixture.  Then add to hot mixture in double boiler and cook 5 minutes, stirring constantly.  Remove from over the hot water, blend in butter, lemon juice, and rind.
Cool.  Pour into cooled baked pie shell.
    MERINGUE:  
    3 egg whites
    6   Tablespoons sugar
    1 teaspoon lemon juice  (if desired)
    Beat egg whites until stiff, but not dry.  Gradually beat in the sugar, continuing beating until the mixture is stiff and glossy.  Slow and complete blending in of the sugar prevents beads of sugar on the meringue.  Spread over pie and brown in a moderate oven 350 degrees from 13 to 15 minutes.
    We hope you'll keep on sending us your favorite recipes, to share them with the Enterprise readers.
