Snow Pudding with Custard

Ingredients

1/2 box Cox's gelatine
3 eggs
2 cupfuls white sugar
1 pint boiling water
Juice of 1 lemon

Directions

Pour the boiling water over the gelatine. Add the sugar and lemon juice. Strain into a large bowl. When nearly cool, and beginning to thicken, stir in the whites beaten to a stiff froth, and with an egg beater beat until the whole is thick and white throughout. Turn into a mold to harden. Keep cool as possible while beating, and keep on ice, if convenient, until ready to serve. This may be made the day before using and kept on ice.

The Custard: Yolks of the 3 eggs, 1 pint milk, pinch of salt. Sweeten to taste. Cook in a pail set in a kettle of boiling water. Cool the custard. Arrange the molds, or mold in an ornamental dish and turn the custard around it.
