Boiled Custard
From MRS. CHARLES J. MCCLUNG, of Tennessee, Alternate Lady Manager.
Let one quart of milk come to a boil with a piece of stick cinnamon in it. Beat six eggs (leaving out the whites of three for the float) and one half pint of sugar very light and pour the boiling milk into them. Wash your kettle and return all to the stove and boil until as thick as cream (be sure and do not boil until curdled), then act aside to cool. Beat the whites of three eggs with three tablespoonfuls of sugar, to which you add a little acid jelly as you beat; beat until perfectly smooth and put on the top of your custard in spoonfuls.
