Smooth corn starch into the beaten yolks, add juice and cook with butter and sugar, in double boiler, till the mixture thickens. Then stir in very lightly the stiffly beaten whites and remove at once from fire. Cut the orange skins in scallops, with scissors, around the top, the inside scraped dry and brushed with melted butter, with sugar sprinkled over it. Pour each skin half full of cream and set in the oven for a few minutes to become firm.
