- Take a dessertspoonful of Fayeux's Ficule de pomme de terre^ mix it smooth with two tablespoonfuls of cold milk, then stir into it half a pint of boiling milk, in which an ounce of lump sugar has been dissolved ;
- boil the custard gently, stirring all the time until it becomes thick, then add two eg^s well beaten, and a little flavouring, and stir over the fire for four or five minutes.
- Pour the custard into a basin, and stir occasionally as it is getting cold to prevent a skin forming on the top.
- Brown and Poison's corn flour may be substituted for the Fc^cule de potnme de terre^ but is not so delicate or appropriate for this purpose.
