Ingredients

  • one cupful of sweet milk

  • a piece of butter the size of a nutmeg
  • a cupful of cold milk
  • a teaspoonful of cornstarch
  • two eggs
  • butter the size of a nutmeg

Directions

1

This recipe is an excellent substitute for pure cream, to be eaten on fresh berries and fruit.

2

One cupful of sweet milk; heat it until boiling. Beat together the whites of two eggs, a tablespoonful of white sugar and a piece of butter the size of a nutmeg. Now add half a cupful of cold milk and a teaspoonful of cornstarch; stir well together until very light and smooth, then add it to the boiling milk; cook it until it thickens; it must not boil. Set it aside to cool. It should be of the consistency of real fresh cream. Serve in a creamer.
