Put a pint of milk in the double-boiler and on the fire. Mix three
tablespoonfuls of cornstarch with a gill of milk and one-third
of a teaspoonful of salt. Stir this into the milk when it boils.
Beat the whites of four eggs to a stiff froth, and then gradually
beat into them half a cupful of powdered sugar and one teaspoonful
of vanilla. Add this to the cooking mixture, and beat vigorously for
one minute.
Rinse a mould in cold water, and pouring the pudding into it, set
away to cool. At serving-time turn out on a flat dish, and serve with
chocolate sauce.
