AUST HOW TO MAKE
A GOOD CUSTARD

IL is a peculiar fact that many a
kind Of fancy cookery, cannot bake a
simple cup custard successfully. This,
no doubt, Is because in many homes
custards are not popular.
Every housekeeper should know how
to make this simple dish. however, in
case Of family illness. when such foods
are required. And Of courses the
mother OF small children should bake
the dish frequently.
TO Make Delicious Cup Custards
scald two cups of sweet milk over a
good fire (thls will take about 2
minutes). Butter 4 small custard cups
or glass ramekins. / generally use
the ramekins. I'm making this dessert
My individual ramekins have curved
sides and are ~ inches deep and
measure 3 n inches across the top and
2h inches across the bottom. -Four
OF these glass ramekins can be filled
by this recipe.
Break into a medium-sized bowl 3
eggs which have been slightly beaten
(only enough TO color the whites yell
iow), and add also to this bowl 15 cup
OF granulated sugar and 4 teaspoon
OF salt. Mix well. then pour in the 2
cups OF scalded milk slowly. Mix
again and fill the 4 cups or ramekins
with the mixture. Sprinkle the tops
lightly with grated nutmeg, and set
the small dishes in two bread pans
which have had a little cold water
poured into them (put two Of the
cups in each bread PAM. The water
should be half way to the top of the
cups.
Place the two pans in very mod
crate oven and bake slowly. At no
time during the period Of baking
should tho water in the pans boil, as
that will cause the custards to whey.
