From Mrs. W. H. Matson
Pulp and juice of oranges two, One big spoon of corn-starch true; Eggs, two yolks, all well stirred up, Sugar and water of each a cup; Pinch of salt; now mix and look: Do not burn, but let it cook. Bake the crust, and mixture pour, Spread whipped eggs and sugar o'er; Set in the stove till brown and bold, Put away to be eaten cold.
