Citron Custard Recipe

Citron custard is good summer or winter, served hot or cold. The child

should first beat up very light two eggs, then add a pinch of salt,

one-third cupful of sugar, two cupfuls of milk, and a sprinkle of

nutmeg. Next she must line a baking-dish or individual cups with thin

slices of citron, then pour in the custard and bake, after setting her

dish or cups in a pan of boiling water. If a few small nails are

scattered over the bottom of the water-pan, so the pudding cups do not

touch, but are surrounded by water, the custard will cook more evenly.

Leave in the oven about twenty minutes, but test before taking out by

inserting in the middle the blade of a silver knife. When thoroughly

done the blade will come out clean instead of coated.
