Boiled Custard

1 pint milk. Pinch salt. 1 teaspoon butter. 3 egg yolks. 1 cup sugar. 1 tablespoon cornstarch.

Put milk in double boiler, add salt and butter. Mix cornstarch with a little cold milk. When milk is ready to boil stir in cornstarch, then the yolks that have been well beaten with sugar. Cook until thick; add whites beaten stiff just before taking off fire or pour over them and fold into the custard. This is good without whites and a nice way to use yolks. Fruit may be added to this or served in glasses over fruit.

This is a good foundation for cornstarch pudding, cabinet pudding, using double quantity of cornstarch. Make meringue of whites.
