GEORGE EASTMAN'S LEMON MERINGUE PIE

Eastman once interrupted several times a conversation with Dr. Robert A. Millikan, the Nobel laureate, while he hurried to the kitchen to see "if my meringue was browning nicely."

6 eggs
2 lemons
1 cup sugar
1 baked single pie crust

"Beat yolks of six eggs with one cup of granulated sugar. Add grated rind and juice of two lemons. Cook 15 minutes in double boiler, stirring constantly. Take from fire and when cool add the beaten whites of three eggs. Fill crust, which has been baked a light brown. Make meringue with three remaining egg whites, top off and put in oven to brown.'

George Eastman ... a first-rate cook
