.

Put 1 Qt. of Milk in a double boiler,
when brought to the boiling point
add to it 4 Eggs,
beaten with 1 c. of Sugar,
stir constantly until it begins to thicken,
and remove at once.
If allowed to stand a moment
the Custard will curdle.
If you are unfortunate enough to have it curdle,
pour in about 1 Tbsp. of cold Milk,
and beat rapidly for a few minutes
with a Dover Egg Beater.
When cool pour over thinly sliced Bananas,
in a deep dish,
ornament the top with the beaten Whites of 1 Egg
into which stir sufficient Sugar to stiffen.
Drop this from a spoon at intervals,
and place on the top of each drop of Frosting
a square 1/2 inch of Currant or Grape Jelly.
