6-8 servings
Cooking Time: 30-45 minutes

Ingredients

• 4 eggs, separated
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 1/4 cup flour
• 4 cups milk
• 1/4 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
• 3/4 cup sugar

Preparation

Step 1

1. Place egg yolks, flour, and 1 cup of milk in a small mixing bowl. Stir to make a smooth paste. Set aside.
2. Place the remaining milk, sugar, and salt in a medium-sized saucepan and scald at medium heat.
3. Add the egg mixture to the scalded milk and continue to cook at medium heat until a soft custard consistency is reached. Remove custard from heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
4. Beat the egg whites in a medium-sized mixing bowl until they are stiff, but not dry. Fold the egg whites into the custard, chill, and garnish with nutmeg and cinnamon before serving. Whipped cream is another great option
