Gene gave me a number of random pages of notes written by Grandma, thinking they might relate to a book she was writing, but he was mistaken. Most of them are menus, lists of things to do, gardening notes etc. These 2 recipes were in that bundle, "Cream Salad Dressing" & "Lemon Pie", marked "Mon. 5/20/85 these recipes to Dave & Jean, also; photostat of genealogy chart."
Cream Salad Dressing
mix dry ingredients. add to butter melted in top of double boiler. Stir and cook briefly. Slightly beat egg yolk and mix into cream. Add to pan and cook until slightly thickened, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. If lumpy, beat with electric mixer to remove lumps. Add Vinegar. If it seems too bland, an additional 2 Tablespoons vinegar may be added to taste. Keep refrigerated.
Lemon Pie
Separate eggs, reserving white for meringue. In top of double boiler pan, heat egg yolks and cream in the sugar. Add lemon juice and grated rind.Add cornstarch that has been softened with cold water. [she never mentions how much cold water]. Add boiling water. Cook and stir in top boiler until thick and shiny. Remove top pan from heat and allow to cool. Pour into cooked pie shell and top with meringue.
