Method

Separate yolks from whites - store whites in cold refrigerator. In a small saucepan whisk yolks, milk, sugar and cornstarch over medium flame until smooth. Raise the flame and whisk continuously until mixture is just beginning to boil. Pour into serving dish (es) and chill. Make a stiff meringue with the egg whites and powered sugar and drop it onto a greased cookie tray to make "clouds" about 3 inches round. Bake at 350 degrees F. until browned and chill. Drop the custard mixture into the "clouds", chill, and serve cold.
