ALWAYS FAVORED DISH
HOW CusTARDs FOR DESSERTS
MAY BE VARIED.
Baked In Individual Cups Is Probably
the Most Popular Form-Fresh
Grated Cocoanut Favored
With Orange-Tapioea.

Baked cuatards in individual cups
will always be a favorite dessert at
simple dinners One egg yolk and
one tablespoonful of sugar 10 every
cupful of milk is an excellent rule for
these custards More yolks than this
makes them "eggy' in flavor and tho
whites are not needed. In fact, the
custard Is much better with the
whites, as they will, unless great care
is taken, form In tough strings or rise
to the top In humps while the custard
is baking. Do not forget to add tiny
pinch Of salt.
For simple custards a little nutmeg
imparts as good a favor as vanilla or
any Of the ordinary extracts. Custards
favored with grated orange rind are
delicious. Chocolate grated over the
top Just before the dessert is put into
the oven is a pleasant addition to GUS
tards favored with vanilla or almond.
The chocolate forms an appetging
crust over the top leaving the custard

Custards made with fresh grated CO.
coanut are delicious, especially II
favored with grated orange. Lemon
or vanilla may, however be used.
Butter the custard cups, sprinkle over

as the butter viii hold. Then dredgo

For a tapIoca custard not so many
egg yolks are needed two cupfuls OF

two of the yolks Let the taploca cook
in water until It Is transparent, and
use Just enough water TO prevent its
burning, All little salt and let II get
