Vanilla Cup Custards

Pound a vanilla bean in a mortar, stir in three pints of milk, eight well-beaten eggs and sufficient crushed loaf sugar to sweeten; with this fill up some cups, place them in a pan of hot water, set them in the oven and cook. Turn the custards out when done, and serve them either hot or cold.
