Birthday Pie

But if we'd said yes to pie, she might have made this, for which there are three cards:

Key Lime Pie

3 egg yolks
1 c. condensed milk* Mix

Add 3 oz lime juice a little at a time
Pour into crust (Graham crax)

3 egg whites
1/4 tsp cr tartar **
6 T sugar

Bake @ 425 5-6 min

*The other card calls for 1 can--
**--and for 1/2 tsp cr of tartar

Mom also had a clipping of Lee Bailey's Key lime pie recipe from "Country Weekends" (published by Clarkson Potter), which uses a pre-baked pie shell instead of a Graham cracker crust. The filling takes a can of condensed milk, 1/2 c. of lime juice, and 2 egg whites but no yolks, and is unbaked.
