Cup Custards Recipe

Twenty-five Cent Dinners For Families Of Six

Boil a pint of milk, (cost four cents,) with two ounces

of sugar and half the yellow rind of a lemon, (cost three cents;)

meantime beat four eggs, (cost four cents,) and strain the milk into

them; mix thoroughly, strain again, and pour into cups; set these in a

baking pan containing hot water enough to reach half way up the sides

of the cups, and either set the pan over the fire until the custards are

firm, or bake them in the oven; they will set in twelve or fifteen

minutes. The cost will be about twelve cents.
