Plain Custard Monologue from Love in a Wood

From Love in a Wood by William Wycherley

any · comedic · 51 sec

2 cupfuls milk 1 egg ¼ teaspoonful butter pinch of salt 1 tablespoonful corn starch 2 tablespoonfuls sugar 1 teaspoonful flavoring Smooth the corn starch on part of the milk, adding to remainder of the milk that has been heated to boiling point. Add the beaten egg, sugar, salt, butter and flavoring. Stir constantly till it thickens. Cooks easily in a double boiler. If boiled custard “separates,” it is cooked too much. To overcome this, beat with an egg beater till smooth. When no corn starch is used in custard, use one egg instead of the tablespoonful of corn starch.
