- Ingredients—1 tablespoonful of cornflour.
- 1 pint of milk.
- The yolks of 2 eggs.
- 2 oz. of castor sugar.
- Vanilla or other flavouring.
Method.—Put the milk and sugar on to boil.
When boiling, stir in the cornflour, which should be mixed very smoothly with a little cold milk.
Boil, stirring all the time, for ten minutes.
Then remove from the fire, and, when it has cooled a little, beat in the yolks of the eggs.
Stir again over the fire to cook the eggs, but take care they do not curdle.
Flavour to taste, and when cold pour into custard glasses.
A cheaper substitute for custard may be made by omitting the eggs.
