Custard Souffle

Mix two tablespoonfuls of butter and two tablespoonfuls of flour together; boil half a pint of milk, and add the flour and butter gradually to the boiling milk and stir over the fire for eight minutes; beat with the yolks of four eggs and five tablespoonfuls of caster-sugar, stir in with the milk and the rest of the mixture and let it cool. Beat the whites of the four eggs to a froth, mix them with the cold custard, turn into a buttered pie-dish, and bake for twenty minutes in a moderate oven.
