Floating Island

One quart milk, five eggs, one teaspoon corn starch, put the milk in a skillet over the fire, and when it commences to boil have the whites of three of the eggs beaten very light, and drop them on the boiling milk for two or three minutes, then skim them off and take the two remaining eggs and the three yolks beaten together with one cup sugar and the corn starch, mix with the boiling milk which must be placed in a Farina kettle and stir constantly until it is about as thick as cream. Flavor with vanilla, and put the floating island on top.
