Custard Puddings
These being the more easily made may be considered first. They may
either be steamed or baked but the mixture is the same in either case.
Allow two eggs and a teaspoonful of sugar to each half pint of milk.
Beat the eggs with sugar thoroughly, but do not froth them, as the
custard must be as smooth and free from holes as possible. Add the milk
slowly, also a few drops of flavoring essence--vanilla, almonds or
lemon. Pour into a buttered mould (or into individual moulds), set in a
pan of hot water and bake until firm. Chill thoroughly and turn out on
serving dish. Serve with sugar and cream. A pleasing addition to the
above is made by garnishing the sides of the mould with strips of Canton
ginger before pouring in the custard.
Coffee Custard
Make an infusion of coffee by pouring half a pint of boiling milk on a
heaping tablespoonful of powdered coffee. Put it aside to settle, and
when cold strain off the milk and use with the eggs as in previous
recipe.
Boiled Custard
This is also made from milk and eggs and is usually served instead of
cream with stewed or preserved fruit. "Boiled" custard is rather a
misnomer as on no account must the boiling point be reached in cooking,
for if the custard bubbles it curdles. As soon as the custard begins to
thicken the saucepan must be taken from the fire and the stirring
continued for a second or two longer. If the cooking is done in a double
boiler the risk of boiling is very much lessened.
