"Too much importance cannot be

to "prevent runts, hatch no chicks

Custard may be made thick but
liquid to serve as sauce for other
preparations or may be baked tirm.
When made without sweetening, it
serves as a substitute for meat and
when sweetened it will serve as a
dessert. In order to prevent curdling
the custard must be cooked very
slowly. ...
The following is a standard recipe
for custard: Two cups of milk, two
or three egg, one-eighth teaspoon
salt, and one-fourth cup of sugar.
Heat the milk, beat eggs with sugar
and salt until well mixed then add hot
milk. Cook in double boiler or
bake in dish or custard cups set in
pan of water. To test a soft custard,
lift the spoon from the mixture; if
and spoon is coated, the custard is
done. To test a baked custard, in
sert a knife. If it comes out clean,
the custard is done.
Variations in serving custards
present several possibilities. For rice
custard, add 1 cup f cooked rice and
a few raisins, chopped dates or some
preserved or dried fruits. For
tapioca custard, cook one-fourth cup
of pearl tapioca in the milk until the
tapioca is transparent. Beat the egg
J oiks, sugar and salt together. Add
ot mixture slowly to egg mixture,
return to double boiler and cook un
til thickened. Remove from fire,
add beaten egg whites, flavor and
chill
Enameled or agateware in kitchen
utensil may be kept clean and
smooth by protecting it from unnec
essary knocks, acids, and sudden
changes of temperature. An enameled
