  • Line a pie-dish with good pastry and fill it three-quarters full of red raspberries strewed with granulated sugar.
  • Cover with an upper crust, but rub the edges of this and of the lower crust with butter to prevent their sticking together.
  • Make a cream of a cupful of hot milk thickened with a teaspoonful of corn-starch wet with cold milk.
  • Stir in two tablespoonfuls of sugar, remove from the fire, and when cool whip in the stiffened whites of three eggs.
  • When the pie is done and is cold, lift off the upper crust and cover the raspberries with the “cream.” Replace the cover and sift powdered sugar over it.
