1855 Lemon Pie Recipe - Old Cookbook Show - Glen And Friends Cooking

1855 Lemon Pie Recipe - Old Cookbook Show - Glen And Friends Cooking
1855 Lemon Pie Recipe from the 1855 Mrs. Bliss' Practical Cook Book. This is an amazingly good Lemon Pie recipe; it has a different texture than a lemon meringue pie recipe - but the lemon flavour is outstanding. This historic lemon pie recipe, relies heavily on eggs and is almost a soufflé, but not really. It's definitely not a lemon curd, or a lemon custard.
Lemon Pie.
Beat to a cream eight table-spoonfuls of fine white sugar and six of melted butter; add six whites and eight yolks of eggs well beaten, the grated rind of two lemons and the juice of one; stir the mixture, and pour into a deep dish lined with paste No. 8; put a strip of the paste around the edge of the dish, and bake thirty minutes.
No. 8. Tart or Pudding Paste.
Rub one pound of butter into one pound of sifted flour, with two tea-spoonfuls of salt; wet with cold water to a stiff paste, roll out to an eighth of an inch in thickness, brush beaten egg over it, sprinkle fine sugar upon it, and use it.
Notes:
- This pie filling suits a 9" shallow pie dish.
- The oven was set to 200ºC (400ºF), and the pie was baked sitting on a pizza stone to transfer heat quickly to the base of the crust. Mimicking the floor of a wood hearth.
- Our All Butter Pie Crust would be a great sub for No. 8 Pudding Paste: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oavahIeAhrBsY8k

*Imagine* releasing a cookbook today and prefacing it with "these recipes are perfect, if you mess them up it's your own fault"

[@stuartt455]

As Glen has noted in previous old cookbook recipes, they leave a lot of stuff out because it was just expected cooks at the time knew all this stuff. This isn't saying "these recipes are perfect", it's saying if anything goes wrong it might be that you left an important step out due to your inexperience.

Yeah, that's something weird for me too, I wonder if it's a mentality difference where they just don't give a F if you can't cook. If someone is using a recipe in the first place, I'd figure they'd be 1 of the two: Either looking to be inspired or really can't cook and need guidance.

The bad part about pie is that nobody eats it with ice cream. This pie with an ice cream chaser would be awesome, even one of the more adult ice creams!

[@jaguarmartin]

I think the lemons you had were muuuuuch bigger than any lemons you would have gotten in 1855 which is why you got way more zest and the lemon flavour was so powerful

[@josiahgibson6373]

That's true, but at the same time I think it's important to note that it was fairly standard practice back then to eat lemons raw. The curative effects of citrus fruits were well known even in antiquity, and lemons have a much better shelf life than other citrus fruits such as oranges, and juice concentration methods for preserving citrus weren't invented until the second world war. The phrase "When life gives you lemons make lemonade" nowadays seems like it's a bit of an unnecessary statement, because, well, of *course* you're going to use make something out of the lemons you have. Back in the day that wasn't true as people would typically peel and eat the lemons as-is as it provided necessary nutrition, even if they didn't like the sour taste. An interesting example of this is "Stonewall" Jackson, an American General in the civil war. There are numerous anecdotes about him always having a lemon on his person and regularly eating them, a fact that people in the modern era find quite odd. It's important to note that even though there is mention of him and his lemons from his lifetime, none of the mentions are worded in such a way as to suggest that the writers found the behavior of eating lemons as being odd or uncommon, but rather the thing that's emphasized is his love for them and the frequency in which he carried and ate them. With that in mind people back then probably wouldn't mind strong lemon flavors being present in a pie, and would likely expect anything lemon-flavored or lemon based to be fairly intense.

[@amieinnovascotia8490]

Josiah Gibson: and many, many thank you’s for that bit of historical trivia. That’s part of the reason I enjoy old cook books and isn’t it delightful that Glen is so willing to jump in and just “do it” even when his experience tells him to be cautious.

The size of lemon depends upon where you live and the climate.

[@roryshannon5617]

Love these Sunday morning old recipes! Just an observation on the filling when you guys were trying to figure it out texturally. It’s not custard because there’s no dairy, but there is butter. So eggs, sugar, butter and lemon. Essentially you just baked lemon curd in a pie crust. Which would definitely explain the serious lemony smack on your lips!

[@eugenb.8448]

It will take many months go finish this challenge and then I will start on the cookbooks I have collected while traveling in a small rv for almost 20 years. Another way to make the challenge interesting will be to try to convert as many recipes as possible into Instant Pot recipes. I love the convenience and easy cleanup of this method of cooking.

After watching this, I looked in one of my favorite old cookbooks for lemon pies, and I found "Lemon pie, Special": "The yolks of eight eggs, six ounces of sugar, three lemons, the whites of four eggs. Mix the yolks, sugar, and the grated rinds and the juice of the lemons, and beat over a fire until thick. Then add the whites of the eggs well beaten, and pour into a large pie dish lined with thin pie dough. Bake slowly. Serve with powdered sugar on top." A second variation on the recipe (that makes two pies) says "Bake in a medium hot oven for about 25 minutes."

[@katherinetutschek4757]

Have you tried making this recipe? How was it

[@Brisbanesdaddy]

GREAT video! I might suggest the shallow tinned copper pie pan was useful in a wood fired oven to bake while it is hot primarily because of the difficulty in regulating temps and the need to turn 1/4 turn every few minutes because the oven was hottest on the firebox side to avoid burning on 1 side

[@diggersouth]

I definitely heard of that brushing a par baked pie crust. Almost like creating this extra seal from allowing moisture from filling to seep into the crust

[@acexkeikai]

mmm you know each time I see that they call for eggs and they say 6 whites and 8 yolks. The first thing I think it to add the yolks to the butter and lemon juice mix then in a seperate clean bowl whip the egg white then fold them in. I think the texture would be more airy and lofty and I wouldn't be surprised if part of the egg whites would seperate and create a meringue like top. Lemon pie is my fave followed by mincemeat pie and Pumpkin... which I hope to be able to do soon.

[@ThomasJBrown]

The fact that the recipe called for whites and yolks separately caught my attention as well. I also wondered if the whites were supposed to be whipped and folded in, especially since Glen & Jules commented on the odd texture. I wouldn't be surprised if there is yet another section hidden away elsewhere in that cookbook with that instruction.

My favorite pie is a chocolate chess pie. I tried multiple recipes for one then finally found one close to what flavor I wanted and tweaked it just for me. During my search for a great chocolate chess pie recipe I discovered vinegar pies. I make the vanilla vinegar pie (without any cornmeal) and serve it with canned or fresh fruit topping (canned cherry pie filling is great). That's an easy pie to make in a pinch. I'm not that big of a fan of custard pies but I like the texture of the chess and the vinegar pies. Vinegar pies don't taste of vinegar at all.

Don't chess pies have cornmeal? The earliest known American recipes called chess pie don't show up until the 1870s - One theory is that this style of pie morphed into what Americans now call Chess Pie.

[@tahoeturquoise]

@@GlenAndFriendsCooking These days I think most recipes call for corn meal, but I was told by my aunt (an excellent home baker) and my Home Ec teachers in the early seventies that it was the egg-sugar-butter mixture that made it a Chess pie; the thickening could be cornmeal or flour. I didn't know about Lemon or Chocolate Chess until I moved away from Kentucky, around '82 or '83. Now that I think about it, I don't think I've seen a plain Chess pie anywhere but Kentucky. My family is from the western part of the state, between Bowling Green and Paducah. Could be a regional thing.
