Well, what was the point of making that low cholesterol pie crust when you are just going to be filling it with lemon filling, heh. Today is a lemon pie filling with no indication of whether you bake it or just let it set. My guess is to let it set since this is like a pudding. Yummmmm.
Lemon Pie
Rind and juice of 1 lemon
1 cup sugar
1/3 c flour
3 egg yolks – 1 egg white
1 cup cold water
If you must – as some do – watch your cholesterol, you could use this recipe for low cholesterol pie crust. I don’t know how it turns out, honestly because I buy pre-made pie crust. Anything involving a rolling pin just turns out terribly for me. It either sticks to the pin and/or board, or it has too much flour and dries out. By the way, I just love how her personality shows through on this one. She must have been a bit resentful of the low cholesterol mandate.
By the way, does this give you any hint as to what might be coming next? :-)

This recipe is on the back of a “things to do” list. The other side says:
Since cooking is a ton more fun than reviewing statements and reading mail, I can only assume that Gram sat down and came up with this recipe instead. This actually sounds like it might be a little bit good since it’s covered with chocolate sauce at the end.

3 tbsp minute tapioca
salt
1/3 cup crushed peppermint candy
1 egg white

All the tapioca pudding I’ve ever tasted was gluey and pretty disgusting. I suspect it was not good quality, but all it takes is one bad experience to turn you off something, right? I don’t know if I’ll ever make this maple tapioca pudding, but maybe one of you will. If you do, let us all know how it turns out, please!
Maple Tapioca
2 c milk
1/3 c minute tapioca

1 c maple syrup
Beaten yolk of one egg
Keep hot and stir until thick. Cool a little and fold in beaten white of one egg. Add 1/3 c broken walnut meats. Serve with whipped cream, walnut half on top.
Here’s a slightly confusing recipe for lemon pudding. I don’t understand the comment to put it in a hot oven first and then decrease (the temperature). Are the eggs beaten separately from the other ingredients or actually beaten separately from one another? Something tells me there is some research in my future before making this dish.
