Description

Private Milford Hawkins is back home with his wife and two children at 112 N. Riverside Drive after five months in a Nazi prison camp. Hawkins said he had really been wined and dined by his friends and relatives and with any number of delicious dishes since his return home, but his favorite of favorites is still Mrs. Roseland Hawkins' cocoanut cream pie. But we can't get the cocoanut so the next best thing is her lemon pie, which Mrs. Hawkins insists is an "ice box pie". She makes it by crumbling up about 20 or 25 vanilla wafers with a rolling pin, adding two tablespoons of melted butter and mixing well. That is put into a pie plate and pressed all around into an even crust. Then she takes a can of sweetened condensed milk, the juice of two lemons and two egg yolks, beat the lemon juice and eggs together, adds the milk and then pours the finished mixture into the crust. She says she makes the meringue out of the whites of two eggs and a teaspoon of sugar. The pie is browned in the oven and then chilled in the ice box before it is ready to be served. In this picture is Mrs. Hawkins making her pie in her kitchen. Published in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram evening edition, August 9, 1945.
