1 c Evaporated milk
3 Eggs; lightly beaten
1/2 c Sugar, brown
1/2 c Sugar, granulated
2 tb Flour
1/2 ts Lemon extract

one tablespoon of the ice water over one small section of flour mixture and
mix lightly with a fork. Repeat, rotating bowl, one section at a time.

diameter "pancake" (remainder of dough can be rolled out into a rect-
angle, sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar, rolled and cut into little
pinwheels, brushed with butter and a sugar-water glaze and baked sepa-
rately). Sprinkle flour on rolling (preferably taped-down pastry cloth)
and, with flour-dusted rolling pin, roll dough into circle until dough is
about 1/4" thick. Trim one inch larger than inverted 10" Pyrex pie plate.
Carefully roll pastry onto rolling pin, then unroll it onto right-side-up
pie plate. Press into pie plate. Fold edge under. Flute 1/2" high edge.
