Floating Islands Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • 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.
