2 cups milk. 2 eggs.

2 heaping tablespoons sugar.

Flavoring of nutmeg or stick cinnamon. Boil the milk with half the sugar in it to prevent burning on the bottom. Beat the two eggs in a cup with the rest of the sugar and a spoonful of milk added. When the milk boils pour a little to the eggs, then turn all into the saucepan and stir until it thickens and shows signs of boiling. Too much cooking will spoil it.
