VANILLA CUP CUSTARDS.
308. Pound a vanilla bean in a mortar, and stir it into three pints of milk, eight well beaten eggs, and sugar to the taste.
Fill your cups, place them in a pan of hot water, set them in the oven, and as soon as a custard is formed take them out.
They are very nice if placed on the ice in warm weather an hour or two before they are served.
