1 envelope plain gelatin
2 c. milk
2 eggs, separated
6 tbsp. sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. vanilla or almond extract

Soak gelatin in little bit of milk 5 minutes in top of double boiler. Place over boiling water and heat until gelatin dissolves. Beat egg yolk slightly. Add 2 tablespoons of sugar and salt. Add milk slowly. Add to double boiler and stir constantly 2-3 minutes until mixture coats spoon. Let stand until cool and then chill until slightly thickened.

Beat egg whites until foamy. Add rest of sugar (4 tablespoons) and beat until stiff but not dry. Fold egg whites into gelatin mix. Fold in extract and pour into molds or bowl. An elegant dessert but do not attempt when it is very humid.
