2 cupfuls milk 1 cupful sugar 4 eggs 2 teaspoonfuls corn starch 2 tablespoonfuls powdered sugar sliced sugared oranges Smooth the corn starch in a little cold milk, adding it to the two cupfuls of milk and the sugar when milk has reached boiling point. Stir constantly, add the well beaten yolks and let thicken. Remove at once from the fire and when cold, pour over the dish of oranges. Beat very stiffly the whites with the powdered sugar, and drop from a tablespoon into a shallow pan of boiling water. Cook about one minute, turn carefully over and cook the other side. Place over custard and serve very cold. Peaches may be substituted for the oranges.
