BAKERS' CUSTARD PIE

Beat up the yolks of three eggs to a cream

Stir thoroughly a tablespoonful of sifted flour into three tablespoonfuls of sugar; this separates the particles of flour so that there will be no lumps

Add it to the beaten yolks, put in a pinch of salt, a teaspoonful of vanilla and a little grated nutmeg

Next add the well-beaten whites of the eggs

Lastly, add a pint of scalded milk (not boiled) which has been cooled

Mix this in by degrees and turn all into a deep pie-pan lined with puff paste

Bake from twenty-five to thirty minutes
