Lemon Custard Recipe

Ingredients

  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tablespoonful butter
  • 2 tablespoonfuls of cornstarch
  • 3/4 cupful of sugar
  • 2 cupfuls of water
  • 1 large lemon

Directions

Beat the yolks of the eggs, the butter and sugar together. Mix the corn-starch with a little of the water. Stir all together and cook as for boiled custard. Remove from the stove and stir the beaten whites in lightly. The eggs may be beaten together if there is any haste. Pour in a large pudding-mold to cool, or in cups, and turn out. It may be served with sweet cream and sugar, or alone.
