Pour this mixture very slowly into scalded milk, stirring as it is poured in a small stream. Cook this mixture on medium heat until it thickens, stirring as it cooks. Cook until mixture coats the spoon. Remove from heat and add vanilla. Cool. Beat egg whites until foamy. Add pinch of salt; continue beating as you sprinkle 2 tablespoons sugar into egg whites. Beat until stiff. Fold egg whites into milk mixture. Top with a dash of nutmeg.
