Ingredients:
2 tablespoons of flour
1 quart sweet milk
2 eggs
lemon essence
Preparation:
- Mix the flour with some of the milk and let the remainder come to a boil.
- Beat the eggs light; put in the flour, and pour the boiling milk on these. Sweeten to taste and strain. Cook till thick as custard, stirring all the time.
- When cold, flavor with essence of lemon.
- Bake a crust made of rich puff paste, and when cold, fill with the custard. The success of this depends on the cooking, and many good cooks slip a sharp knife under the crust here and there while it is cooking to make it light as possible.
