Sift flour and sugar together and make into a thin paste with part of
the milk, heat the remainder of the milk and stir in the flour paste.
When the mixture is thick and smooth, stir in the butter, then the
beaten yolks and last, the whites (well beaten) are folded in. The
mixture is now turned into a baking dish and baked (in a pan of hot
water as any other custard) until it is firm in the center and well
puffed up and brown. Serve with foamy sauce.

1 cup sugar
1/3 tsp. cream of tartar
1/4 tsp. salt
Beat whites of eggs until foamy and add cream of tartar; beat until
dry and stiff, add the sugar gradually and fold in the well-beaten
yolks. Sift the flour and gradually fold into the rest of the
ingredients; pour into ungreased sponge cake pans and bake in a
moderate oven for 30 to 40 minutes.
ANGEL FOOD CAKE

4 egg whites
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup flour (pastry)
1/4 tsp. cream of tartar
Whip eggs until foamy and add cream of tartar, whip until stiff and
dry, add sugar gradually, then fold in the flour (the flour must be
sifted 4 or 5 times).
Pour batter into an ungreased angel food cake pan and bake in a slow
oven for 25 or 30 minutes. Care must be taken not to disturb the cake
