Two cups milk heated to scalding, ½ cup sugar mixed with 2 tablespoons flour, then add 1 tablespoon butter and well beaten yolks of 2 eggs, any desired flavoring. Bake crust almost done, add custard. Beat whites of eggs, put on top and brown.—Mrs. A. L. Dunfrund.

Beat well the yolks of 3 eggs. Stir thoroughly a tablespoon of sifted flour into 3 tablespoons of sugar; this separates the particles of flour so there will be no lumps. Add it to the yolks, put in a pinch of salt, a teaspoon full of vanilla and a little grated nutmeg; now add the beaten whites and lastly a pint of scalded, not boiled milk, which has been cooled. Mix this in by degrees and turn all into a deep pie tin lined with crust and bake 25 to 30 minutes.—Mrs. Hunt.

One cup grated corn, ½ cup of milk, salt and cayenne to taste, butter the size of a walnut, 1 rounded tablespoon corn starch, yolks of 2 eggs. Bake with an under crust only, and when done cover with a meringue made from the whites of 2 eggs, to which add a pinch of salt and a pinch of cream of tartar, but no sugar. Brown delicately.—Mrs. Albrecht.
