This recipe was extracted from Practical West African cookery (1910) by S. Leith-Ross, page 63. The excerpt below is the record exactly as published.

2 eggs. 1 teacup milk (if Ideal, one good dessertspoon to the rest of water.) 6 lumps or one large table- spoon sugar. 2 or 3 drops vanilla. These quantities are for one man only ; for two, double the quantities and use the larger pudding basin. 1. Put the flat saucepan on the tire with enough water to reach three quarters of the way up the small pudding basin (or a breakfast cup would do). Set it to boil. 2. Stir well together the eggs, milk, four crushed lumps or one dessertspoon sugar and the vanilla. 3. Put the remaining two lumps or half dessertspoon sugar in the small enamel saucepan with a few drops of water and move it about on the Are till it melts and turns deep brown. Take it quickly away and pour it into the small pudding basin or breakfast cup. Turn the basin about so that the melted sugar coats the bottom of the basin and nearly half way up the sides. 130 SWEETS. 4. Pour in at once the mixed eggs and milk and cover securely with a saucer. It is even advisable to put a small weight on top of the saucer so that it does not lift when the water bubbles. Set the basin in the boiling water and keep the water boiling for ten minutes. Take the basin out, stand it in cold water ; when quite cold turn it gentlv over on to a dish and the cream will slip out. Coffee Cream. (II). This is made exactly like the caramel cream except that the milk, before mixing it with the eggs, must be flavoured with coffee. Put a teacup of water in the small saucepan. When boiling, add a dessertspoon ground coffee, boil for one minute, take away and strain. When cool, add two dessertspoons of Ideal milk
