PLAIN CUSTARDS.

A quart of rich milk.

Eight eggs.

A quarter of a pound of powdered sugar.

A handful of peach-leaves, or half an ounce of peach-kernels,

Boil the peach-leaves or kernels in the milk, and set it away to

cool. When cold, strain out the leaves or kernels, and stir in the

sugar. Beat the eggs very light, and stir them gradually into the

milk when it is quite cold. Bake it in cups, or in a large white

dish.
