Ingredients

  • one quart of new milk
  • a cupful of sugar
  • six eggs half a cupful of sugar
  • half filled

Directions

1

Six eggs half a cupful of sugar, one quart of new milk. Beat the eggs and the sugar and milk, and any extract or flavoring you like. Fill your custard cups, sift a little nutmeg or cinnamon over the tops, set them in a moderate oven in a shallow pan half filled with hot water. In about twenty minutes try them with the handle of a teaspoon to see if they are firm. Judgment and great care are needed to attain skill in baking custard, for if left in the oven a minute too long, or if the fire is too hot, the milk will certainly whey.

2

Serve cold with fresh fruit sugared and placed on top of each. Strawberries, peaches or raspberries, as preferred.
