MRS. H. D. FOSTER.
Two large cups of flour, one cup of water, a half cup of butter, a half cup of lard and a little salt. This will make two pies. To make crust look rich, take the white of an egg, well beaten, and spread it upon the pies lightly, with a feather, just before putting them into the oven; one egg to five pies.
