Beat seven eggs with three table-spoonsful of rolled sugar. When beaten
to a froth, mix them with a quart of milk--flavor it with nutmeg. Turn
it into cups, or else into deep pie plates, that have a lining and rim
of pastry--bake them directly, in a quick oven. To ascertain when the
custards are sufficiently baked, stick a clean broom splinter into
them--if none of the custard adheres to the splinter, it is sufficiently
baked.
