Scald 2 cups milk in top of double boiler over boiling water; then stir in
in a little of the hot milk. Combine the two mixtures and pour into 6
custard cups; sprinkle with a little mace or nutmeg on top of each one. Set
cups in pan of hot water. Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for about
3540 minutes, or until a knife blade inserted in the center comes out
clean. Remove cups immediately from the pan of water. Chill and serve.
