A Plain Custard Pie Recipe

Boil a quart of milk with half a dozen peach leaves, or the rind of a

lemon. When they have flavored the milk, strain it, and set it where it

will boil. Mix a table-spoonful of flour, smoothly, with a couple of

table-spoonsful of milk, and stir it into the boiling milk. Let it boil

a minute, stirring it constantly--take it from the fire, and when cool,

put in three beaten eggs--sweeten it to the taste, turn it into deep pie

plates, and bake the pies directly in a quick oven.
