Custards.
There are no more wholesome des
serts for both the young and old than
various custards. The flavor and man
ner of serving msy be varied so that
they seem at each appearance like
something new. Some like ohoeolste
nsvor, others are fond of caramel,
while nutmeg, cinnamon and flavoring
extracts make a variety of flavors.
If a molded custard is desired It
must be rich in eggs, if a simple
steamed or baked oup custard, two
eggs with a pint of milk gives a smooth,
nice consistency. One ot the secrets
of a smooth velvety custard Is to cook
it just enough, and always over water
or the cups set in water. A coarse cus
tard that has separated into curds and
whey is neither attractive nor whole
some as the egg and albumen of the
milk are both overcooked. Set the
cups Into wster and put Into a moder
ate oven, and when they are Arm near

to finish cooking It, after ft has been
removed if it is not taken from the
water; Many fall In cooking custard
because they forget that the egg and
milk still cooks If left in the water
bath even after taking from the oven.
When making caramel it Is well to re
