COFFEE CUP CUSTARD
One quart milk, one-fourth cup ground coffee, four
eggs, one-half cup sugar, one-fourth level teaspoon salt, one-half
teaspoon vanilla. Tie the coffee loosely in a piece of cheesecloth and
put into double boiler with the milk. Scald until a good coffee color
and flavor is obtained, then remove from the fire. Remove the coffee.
Beat the eggs and add the sugar, salt and vanilla, then pour on
gradually the milk. Strain into cups, place in a pan of hot water, and
bake in a moderate oven until firm in the middle. Less vanilla is
required when combined with another flavoring.
