Wartime
Wednesday: Lemon Refrigerator Pie
I love to bake, but my schedule doesn’t always allow
me to indulge. The recipe below is a “no-bake” pie, cutting down on preparation
time. I found it in my Better Meals in
Wartime cookbook. Surprisingly, it uses three (3) eggs which sometimes were
difficult to find unless you lived on a farm. It’s easy and delicious. Enjoy!
11
Graham crackers
3
eggs
1
can sweetened condensed milk
Juice
of 3 lemons
Grated
rind of 3 lemons
2
Tablespoons confectioner’s sugar
Great a large pie plate. Place the crackers on the
bottom and fill the sides and spaces with broken pieces and crumbs, bringing
them well up to the edge of the pie plate.
Separate yokes and whites of eggs. Beat the yolks well
and add the milk, juice and rind. Pour mixture into the pie plate.
Beat the whites until stiff and fold into sugar.
Spread lightly over the pie. Place under the broiler for 2-3 minutes to lightly
brown the “meringue.” Put pie in refrigerator and chill for at leave five
hours.
