Take the yellow ofsixteen eggs and twelve table-spoon- fids of pulverized loaf-sugar, and beat them to the consis tence of cream; to this add two-tliirds ofa nutmeg grated, and beat well together; then mix in half a pint of good brandy or Jamaica rum, aoCt two wine-glasses of Madeira wine. Have ready the whites ofthe eggs,beaten to a stifl froth, and beat them into the above-described mixture. When this is all done, stir in six pints of good rich milk. There is no heat used.
