Recipe - Fish Custard

1 One half pound Haddock or cod fillets
1 One half teaspoon Cornstarch
1 One half cup Milk
2 Eggs; well beaten
Salt & pepper to taste
2 tablespoon Butter; melted

This one shows true New England ingenuity. There they have a thousand
ways of serving cod or haddock, and all seem to be delicious. This is a
great cold evening dish.

In a saucepan, boil the fish just until it can be flaked or easily broken
apart. Drain and flake the fish.

Dissolve the cornstarch in the milk. Add the eggs, salt and pepper to
taste, and the melted butter. Place the fish in a buttered casserole and
pour the milk and egg mixture over the top. Bake, uncovered, in a 350ø oven
for 45 minutes, or until the pudding is set.

Traditionally, this is served with Johnnycake (see recipe) and mustard
pickles.
