Required: Five eggs. Two lemons. Half a pound of castor sugar.

Separate the yolks and whites of the eggs, and beat the yolks lightly. Mix with them the sugar, grated lemon-rind, and strained lemon-juice. Beat the whites of the eggs very stiffly.

Put the yolks, etc., in a jug, place it in a pan of boiling water, and stir over the fire till the contents of the jug are quite hot, but not boiling; and then add to it the whipped whites, stirring them in lightly.

Ginger Cream. A cream that is liked by many for its flavouring

Take the jug off the fire, pour the mixture into custard glasses, and serve cold.
