Snow Custard

Add to one quart of milk eight eggs, leaving out the whites of four; stir into this five ounces of sugar; put a shallow pan of hot water in the oven and set the dish of custard in it; bake until thick, then put aside to cool; beat the four whites solid, add half a pound of sugar and a teaspoonful of lemon juice. When the custard is cold lay the whites over the top in heaps, but do not let them touch.
