A CHEAP DESSERT.
From MRS. KATE CANTHON MCDANIEL, of Texas, Lady Manager.
Beat the whites of four eggs to a stiff froth; place them carefully in a vessel containing a pint of boiling milk; let them remain until set, then remove carefully to a plate. Beat the four yolks and a cup of sugar until light; stir in half cup of sweet milk, pour slowly into the boiling milk, stirring briskly all the while; continue stirring and let it remain on the fire long enough to thicken, taking care that it never boils or it will be unfit for use; flavor to suit the taste. Place slices of any cake in dessert plates; pour the custard over them, put a spoonful of the whites on each piece of cake and a drop of jelly in the center of the whites.
