Ingredients

  • one quart of milk
  • five tablespoonfuls of sugar
  • three tablespoonfuls of sugar
  • five eggs
  • four whites of the eggs to a _stiff_ froth
  • two tablespoonfuls of currant jelly

Directions

1

One quart of milk, five eggs and five tablespoonfuls of sugar. Scald the milk, then add the beaten yolks and one of the whites together with the sugar. First stir into them a little of the scalded milk to prevent curdling, then all of the milk. Cook it the proper thickness; remove from the fire, and, when cool, flavor; then pour it into a glass dish and let it become very cold. Before it is served beat up the remaining four whites of the eggs to a _stiff_ froth and beat into them three tablespoonfuls of sugar and two tablespoonfuls of currant jelly. Dip this over the top of the custard.
