Strawberry Float

Heat a quart of milk with one cup of sugar and a pinch of salt. When at boiling point add one tablespoon of cornstarch which has been dissolved in a little of the milk (cold). Cook for three minutes, when add the beaten yolks of three eggs; whip together two minutes and remove from stove, letting cool. Meantime have ready a pint of sweet berries mashed with one-half cup of sugar. Let stand an hour then strain. Whip the whites of the eggs, and two tablespoons powdered sugar, then the juice from the berries; place on top of the custard when the latter is ice cold and serve quickly.
