  # Lemon Chess Pie
  
  ## Ingredients
  - 1 unbaked pie shell
  - 1 stick margarine (1/2 cup)
  - 1 cup sugar
  - 3 eggs
  - 4 Tbsp lemon juice
  
  ## Instructions

  3. Bake at 325F until a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean (~45 minutes). Do not overbake.
  
  ## Editor's Notes
  - **"Lemon Cheese Pie"**: The title is in faded blue ink and is partly hard to read. "Lemon Cheese Pie" is the best reading. The filling has no cheese. "Lemon cheese" is an old name for a lemon curd-style filling.
  - **"4T"**: Read as 4 Tbsp (tablespoons), with the T raised. It is not a fraction.
  - **"1 stick margarine"**: A stick of margarine is 1/2 cup (8 Tbsp).
  - **"pie shell"**: The card does not give a size. A standard 9-inch shell is assumed. The card lists the shell only in the method, so it is added to the ingredients list.
  - **Baking temperature** and **baking time** are not specified. The card says only to bake until a knife comes out clean. Many similar custard-style pies bake at about 350°F, but the card gives no figure.
  - **Card structure**: "Recipe from" and "Serves" are blank. The back of the card is blank. The printed header reads "Here's what's cookin'" and has a fruit illustration.
  - **Food safety**: The pie is baked until set, so the eggs are cooked through.
  
  **Completeness tag:** `minor-gaps`
  **Source type:** `personal`
