Plain Custards.
PUT a quart of good cream over a slow fire, with a
little cinnamon, and four ounces of sugar. When it has
boiled, take it off the fire, beat the yolks of eight eggs,
and put to them a spoonful of orange flower-water, to
prevent the cream from cracking. Stir them in by de-
grees as your cream cools, put the pan over a very slow
fire, stir it carefully one way till it is almost boiling, and
then pour it into cups.
