Jelly Pie (Louise Williams)

Ingredients

• 4 egg yolks
• 1 cup sugar
• 3/4 cup butter
• 1 glass jelly
• 1 tablespoonful vanilla
• 1 dessert-spoonful cornmeal
• 4 egg whites
• pie crust

Instructions

1. Beat the yolks of four eggs very light, with a cup of sugar, three-quarters cup creamed butter, and a glass of jelly, the tarter the better.
2. Add a tablespoonful vanilla and a dessert-spoonful of sifted cornmeal.
3. Then add the whites of eggs beaten very stiff.
4. Bake in crusts — this makes two fat pies.
5. Meringue is optional — and unnecessary.
