SNOW CUSTARD.
314. One quart of milk,
Eight eggs,
One vanilla bean, or a little grated lemon peel.
Beat the eggs, leaving out the whites of four, add them to the milk. Pound the vanilla bean in a mortar, and mix it with the milk. Pour the whole in your pudding dish, place it in a pan of boiling water, and when the custard is thick set it away to cool.
About fifteen minutes before it is to be served, beat the whites to a dry froth, sweeten with fine white sugar, pile it on the top and send it to the table. If suffered to stand the white of egg will fall.
