Food to boost breastmilk production!

Here is a food/desert that really makes your breast milk rich and creamy. I always like to have this shortly after I give birth and into the next week. With my last baby (who is 2 years old already!) I ate 3 batches of this food over a few days and felt like my breast milk came in real strong. In Hungary mothers and mother in laws make this for their daughters and daughter in laws and bring it to the hospital after birth. My mother in law brought this in for me and had some in my fridge for when I got home. Normally she'd make more when it was all gone but she was sick so I resorted to make my own.
Here is how to make it:

Madar tej

Ingredients:

~1/2 gallon of whole milk
~10 eggs separated
~1 1/4 cup sugar
~1 tbs icing sugar
~ 2 1/2 tbs vanilla
~1/2 cup flour
~1 cup milk

Method:
~separate eggs
~bring your 1/2 gallon of milk to a boil on medium low (use a non stick pot or deep pan)
~beat egg whites and icing sugar


until stiff

~drop by slotted spoonful into boiling milk
~ cook for about 30 seconds per side

~remove "clouds" with the slotted spoon and set aside~in the meantime beat egg yolks with the 1 cup milk, sugar, vanilla and flour
~Mixture should be a "thickened" runny:)
~Slowly stir yolk mixture into boiling milk and keep stirring constantly while cooking. Cook until the mixture turns to a "runny pudding" consistency.


~ Pour immediately into a big bowl. The reason for this is if your milk burns even just the slightest bit on the bottom it'll permeate the taste unless removed immediately.
~ Now drop your "clouds" onto the top and just stir ever so slightly
~Serve COLD!!
YUM YUM YUM!!!!

I could live on the stuff........
