MUELLER'S NEAPOLITAN FLUFF

1 package Mueller's Fine Egg Noodles
1/2 lb. prunes*
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 cups milk, scalded
2 egg yolks
1/4 cup sugar
salt (to taste)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 egg whites
1/4 cup sugar

Cook fine egg noodles as directed and drain.

Cook prunes until tender, remove pits and add lemon juice.

Pour the scalded milk onto the slightly beaten egg yolks, sugar and salt: Cook this over hot water until custard coats the spoon, stirring constantly. Add vanilla.

Line a shallow baking dish with the prune pulp, cover with cooked egg noodles mixed with brown sugar and spices. Pour the custard over this.

Beat the egg whites until stiff, beat in sugar and spread this meringue over the pudding.

Bake in a moderate oven, 350 degrees F., fifteen minutes until meringue is light brown.

*Dates or cooked apricots sweetened to taste may replace the prunes.
