eggs beaten very light; make very sweet; flavor high
with vanilla. Cook over hot water till it is a thick cus-
tard. Soak one full ounce Coxe's gelatine in a very little
water, and warm over hot water. When the custard is
very cold, beat in lightly the gelatine and the whipped
cream. Line the bottom of your mould with buttered
paper, the sides with sponge cake or lady-fingers fastened
together with the white of an egg. Fill with the cream,
put in a cold place or in summer on ice. To turn out,
dip the mould for a moment in hot water. In draining
the whipped cream^ all that drips through can be re-
