Make a plain boiled custard, just as before, with--

1 pint of milk.
Yolks of three eggs.
One-third cup of sugar.
1 saltspoonful of salt.
1/2 teaspoonful of vanilla.

Beat the eggs and sugar, add the hot milk, and cook till creamy,
put in the salt and vanilla, and cool. Then cut stale cake into
strips, or split lady-fingers into halves, and spread with jam.
Put them on the sides and bottom of a flat glass dish, and gently
pour the custard over.


Brown Betty

Peel, core, and slice six apples. Butter a baking-dish and
sprinkle the inside all over with fine bread-crumbs. Then
take six very thin slices of buttered bread and line the sides
and bottom of the dish. Put a layer of apples an inch thick,
a thin layer of brown sugar, six bits of butter, and a dusting
of cinnamon, another layer of crumbs, another of apples and
sugar, and so on till the dish is full, with crumbs and butter
on top, and three tablespoonfuls of molasses poured over.
Bake this one hour, and have hard sauce to eat with it.
