Ingredients

12 egg yolks
1/2 lb sugar
1 ounce bisque crumbs

Preparation

Beat egg yolks with sugar over a hot fire until steam begins to rise.
Remove from the fire to ice and continue beating until the mixture becomes quite stiff.

Pack in ice and salt for two hours.
Be careful to overfill the mold, as the mixture will shrink a little.
