No. 1.
1 cup sugar
1 cup chopped raisins
3 eggs
5 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Make individual pie shells on inverted muffin-pans. Prick before baking to prevent the air from pushing them up and out of shape.
Cream butter, and gradually add sugar. Add chopped raisins, one whole egg, and two egg-yolks. Fill shells three-fourths full and cover with a meringue made from two stiffly beaten egg-whites, sugar and vanilla. Brown meringue slightly in the oven, and while browning stir into the pie mixture once or twice with a fork. This makes the mixture fluffy.
No. 2.
1 cup milk
1 tablespoon corn-starch
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 egg-yolks or 1 whole egg 1 teaspoon vanilla Chocolate fudge frosting
Bake patty shells by covering the bottoms of muffin-pans with plain paste.
Scald the milk. Mix corn-starch, sugar and salt and add hot milk slowly. Cook 20 minutes over boiling water. Beat the egg-yolks or the whole egg and add slowly, stirring rapidly. Cool and add vanilla. Fill the patty shells with this mixture. Cover each with a layer of chocolate fudge one-fourth inch thick.
