Ingredients
- one quart of new milk
- a cupful of sugar
- six eggs half a cupful of sugar
- half filled
Directions
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.
Serve cold with fresh fruit sugared and placed on top of each. Strawberries, peaches or raspberries, as preferred.
