5 tablespoons flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Pastry for 2-crust 9-inch pie
Use green tomatoes of mature size. Dip into boiling

into 1/4-inch slices. Sprinkle with lemon juice. Combine
sugar, flour, salt and spices; mix with the tomato slices.
Line a 9-inch pie plate with pastry. Fill with tomato
mixture; dot with butter. Adjust top crust, cutting slits
for steam to escape; seal. Bake at 450 degrees Fahrenheit
for 15 minutes, reduce heat to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and
