2 eggs
¼ cup sugar
Dash salt
2 cup milk
1 tsp rum extract
½ cup whipping cream, beaten until stiff
Nutmeg
Beat eggs, sugar, and salt in top of double boiler or heavy pan. Add milk; mix and cook, stirring frequently, until mixture barely coats a metal spoon. Chill. Stir in extract. Fold in stiffly beaten whipping cream. Pour immediately into glasses and add a dash of nutmeg. Makes 2-3 servings.
Hint: To serve a crowd you can multiply it, make it through the chilling stage, and then quickly finish it by adding the extract (or rum), whipped cream, and nutmeg.
