- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
- 1 cup Stewed or canned peaches (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
Instructions
- 1In a double boiler, combine the milk, farina, salt, and butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens, about 15 minutes. Alternatively, cook in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly to prevent sticking.
- 2In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and granulated sugar until pale and slightly thickened. Remove the farina mixture from the heat and gradually whisk in the egg yolk mixture. Stir thoroughly to combine. Do not let the mixture boil any further.
- 3Stir in the vanilla extract. In a separate clean bowl, beat the egg whites with the powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Butter a pudding dish. Pour a portion of the custard into the dish, then layer with the stewed or canned peaches. Top with the remaining custard and bake.
