A SIMPLE CUSTARD

2 cups milk
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons sugar
2 eggs (yolks)

Put sugar and corn starch in small pan with handle, drop
in the egg yolks, blend, then piddle milk gradually, place over
the fire, stirring constantly until it boils up well. Flavor with
vanilla. Divide in five sherbet glasses.



Bake apples and pears in a little water long and
slowly so as to form a rich syrup out of themselves
Long, slow cooking also develops a rich flavor in prunes.
