Custard Sauce.
- 2 beaten eggs.
- 1 large cup of sugar.
- 1 scant cup of scalding milk.
- ½ teaspoonful of arrowroot, wet with cold milk.
- 1 tablespoonful of butter.
- ½ teaspoonful of nutmeg.
Rub the butter into the sugar, add the eggs, and beat light. Put in corn-starch and spice; finally, pour upon this mixture, by degrees, the boiling milk. Set within a saucepan of boiling water five minutes, stirring all the while, but do not let it really boil.
