Ingredients

2c milk.

3 eggs, separated

1/3 c sugar

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp vanilla

Directions

Put the milk on the stove to heat in a larger pan.

Beat the whites of the eggs very stiff

As soon as the milk scalds--that is, gets a little wrinkled on top--drop spoonfuls of the egg on to it to make little islands; let them stand there to cook just one minute, and then with the skimmer take them off and lay them on a plate.

Put the milk where it will keep hot but not boil.

Beat the yolks of the eggs stiff, mixing in the sugar.

Pour the milk into the bowl of egg, a small amount at a time so the eggs won't cook, beating all the time.

After the milk has been added, put the egg/milk in a double boiler and cook till it is as thick as cream.

Remove from heat, and stir in salt and vanilla, and set it away to cool.

Pour the custard into a serving dish and top with 'islands' of meringue.
