4 eggs.
1 quart of milk.
4 tablespoonfuls white sugar.
Flavor with vanilla or other essence.
Beat the yolks and sugar light, and mix with the milk; flavor, whip in
the whites, which should be already a stiff froth, mix well, and pour
into shells. Grate nutmeg upon the top.
Bake this as cup-custard, or a custard pudding, in cups or a deep dish
set in a pan of boiling water.
