Separate eggs; beat yolks wel and mix with milk. Combine 3/4 cup sugar,
cornstarch, and salt. Add milk and egg yolks to sugar mixture. Cook in
double boiler until thick, stirring often. Remove from heat; add
vanilla. Beat egg whites and 1/4 cup sugar until stiff. Put budding in
a baking dish and spread egg whites over the top of the pudding. Brown
the meringue in a 350 oven until desired brown.
Serves 10.
The pudding is also delicious if the egg whites are folded into the
pudding while it is hot.
