1 env. Knox gelatin
2 c. milk
1/4 c. sugar
2 eggs
1 tbsp. cornstarch or flour
1/8 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. vanilla

Scald milk. Add sugar, salt, and vanilla. Put gelatin in a little cold water and let stand a few minutes. Separate eggs, placing yolks in a milk bottle with a little water and the cornstarch. Place cap on the bottle and shake well. Add to the scalded milk and stir while cooking very slowly until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Dissolve the gelatin in this mixture. Pour into a wet mold and chill. Beat the egg whites until stiff and add to the chilled mixture, folding them in. Place in refrigerator until firm. This custard is nice over cake. If necessary, soften the cake by soaking with milk.
