Ingredients:
6.00 Egg
0.25 c Sugar
0.25 ts Salt
1.00 qt Milk
1.00 ts Vanilla
0.75 ts Cream of tartar Directions:
1. In large saucepan, beat together egg yolks, 2 tablespoons of the
sugar and salt. Gradually stir in milk. 2. Cook over low heat,
stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and just coats a metal
spoon. Stir in vanilla. 3. Cool quickly by setting pan in bowl of ice
or cold water and stirring for a few minutes. Cover and refrigerate
until thoroughly chilled, several hours or overnight. 4. Just before
serving, in large mixing bowl, beat egg whites with cream of tartar
at high speed until foamy. 5. Add remaining sugar, 1 tablespoon at a
time, beating constantly until sugar is dissolved* and whites are
glossy and stand in soft peaks. 6. Gently, but thoroughly, fold yolk
mixture into whites. Pour into bowl or pitcher. Serve immediately
with one or several of the following: ground nutmeg, chocolate curls,
peppermint sticks, orange slices, maraschino cherries, cinnamon
sticks, whipping cream, whipped, sherbet, ice cream, flavored brandy
or liqueur, plain brandy, rum or whiskey. *Rub just a bit of meringue
between thumb and forefinger to feel if sugar has dissolved.
