My grandmother made this dish and called it "Floating Island." Though it's not a true floating island, you still cook it in a pan of water, so I suppose that's where the name came from during the depression.

Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups 2% low-fat milk
- 1 tsp granulated sugar

- 4 egg whites
- 1/4 c sugar
- 1/2 c sugar
- 4 tsp cornstarch
- 1 ts Vanilla extract
- 1 egg yolk, lightly beaten

Directions
- Preheat oven to 325F.
- Pour milk into a heavy saucepan.
- Scrape seeds from vanilla bean; add seeds and bean to milk (or add 1 tsp vanilla extract).
- Cook over low heat 20 minutes; discard vanilla bean (I save in a jar with lid to use when making warm milk).

- Gradually stir about one-fourth of hot milk mixture into egg yolk; add to remaining hot milk mixture, stirring constantly.
- Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly.
- Cook 1 minute, stirring constantly (mixture will not be thick).
- Pour into a bowl; cool slightly, and cover surface with plastic wrap. Chill thoroughly (mixture will thicken slightly).
- Coat a 1-quart metal bowl with cooking spray; sprinkle with 1 teaspoon sugar and set aside.
- Beat egg whites (at room temperature) at high speed on electric mixer until foamy.
- Gradually add 1/2 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff peaks form.
- Add vanilla extract, and beat 10 seconds.
- Spoon mixture into prepared bowl; gently smooth surface of mixture with a spatula.
- Place bowl in an 8-inch square baking pan; add hot water to pan to a depth of 1 inch.
