Sweeten a pint of cream with powdered white sugar--set it on a few
coals. When hot, stir in white wine until it curdles--add rosewater or
essence of lemon to the taste, and turn it into cups. Another way of
making them, which is very nice, is to mix a pint of cream with one of
milk, five beaten eggs, a table-spoonful of flour, and three of sugar.
Add nutmeg to the taste, and bake the custards in cups or pie plates, in
a quick oven.
