Snow Custard

Take a pint of milk, a pint of cream, a quarter of a pound of white sugar, and a stick of cinnamon, and set them on the fire; when the preparation begins to boil, pour in the yolks of ten eggs which have been beaten up in a few spoonfuls of cold milk; keep it well stirred all the time till it begins again to boil; then take out the cinnamon, and stir in the whites, which must also have been beaten up; turn it quickly all the time, that it may not run over; when it has assumed a thickish appearance, put it into a dish garnished with ratafia cakes and pastry alternately.
