President Washington's Custard
"MARTHA WASHINGTON'S CUSTARD. This custard can have raisins and cooked rice added to it. If a pie is desired, use a partially cooked pie shell. They would have had a richer milk so adding some 1/2 and 1/2 might be good. Whipped cream, sprinkled with nutmeg, if desired."
