Swiss Cream

Mix in a basin one and one-half teaspoonfuls of caster-sugar with the yolks of eight eggs and the grated yellow peel of one lemon, and set it in a larger one containing boiling water. Beat the eggs well, and then whisk in gradually one-half pint of French white wine. Turn the cream into a glass dish, and serve it immediately.
