Flavoured Creams

Let the mixture cool slightly, then add the yolks of the eggs one by one, the sugar, and about a teaspoonful of vanilla. Whip the whites to a very stiff froth, and add them lightly to the mixture. Then put it in a prepared tin, and steam it from forty to sixty minutes. Serve immediately with any nice sauce.

Note. If liked, about two tablespoonfuls of thinly sliced pineapple can be added to the mixture.
