Stew 1-lb. of raspberries (or more) with some sugar. Line a basin with
some slices of bread (without crust). Pour in half the fruit, cover
with a layer of bread, then add the remainder of the raspberries and
another layer of bread. Press down with a saucer and place a weight on
it. Turn out and serve when cold with cream or Plasmon snow-cream.
=200. Rice à la Reine.=
Cook 3-ozs. rice in 1-qt. milk for 2 or 3 hours, sweeten and flavour
to taste. When cooled a little add 1/2-oz. gelatine dissolved in
1/2-a-teacup of milk and strained, and 1 gill of cream; stir well and
pour into a wetted mould.
=201. Apple Custard.=
Place some biscuit crumbs in a buttered pie dish. Nearly fill it with
stewed apples. Beat an egg with 1/4-pt. of milk and pour over the
apples. Place some small ratafia biscuits on the top and some grated
nutmeg. Bake in a moderate oven.
=202. Sultana Custard Pudding.=
To 2-ozs. of Robinson's Patent Barley, add 1-oz. of sifted sugar,
1/2-oz. of butter, a pinch of salt, and nearly 1-pt. of milk; mix
thoroughly and stir it over the fire till it boils; then add a yolk
of egg, 3-ozs. sultanas, and bake the pudding in a buttered pie-dish.
=203. Swiss Roll.=
Take 3-ozs. castor sugar and 1 teacupful flour, and add to them 1
teaspoonful of baking powder. Separate the yolks from the whites of 2
eggs, and beat the latter till stiff. Add 1 tablespoon of milk to the
yolks, and work into the flour and sugar, then add the stiffly beaten
whites. Beat all well with a wooden spoon. Pour on to a greased
Yorkshire pudding tin, and bake in a very sharp oven for seven
minutes. Then turn on to a piece of kitchen paper dredged with castor
sugar. Spread quickly with jam (which has been thoroughly beaten) and
roll with the paper. Place on a sieve till cool.
=204. Gateau aux Fruits.=
Take half a tinned pineapple, 3 bananas, 1/4-lb. grapes, 4 Tangarine
oranges, and the juice of a lemon. Cut up the fruit into dice,
sprinkle with sugar and pour over them half the pineapple syrup, the
lemon juice, and a tablespoonful of maraschino, and leave for an hour
to soak. Split five stale sponge cakes open, cut each half into three
fingers and spread each rather thickly with apricot jam. Place four of
these strips on a glass dish so as to form a square, and put four more
across the corners so as to form a diamond in it, and so on, square
and diamond alternately. Fill the middle of the tower thus formed with
the macedoine of fruits, piling them high above the top, and pour the
rest of the pineapple syrup over the cake. Whip half a pint of cream
stiffly, and put it (or Coconut Cream, 224) on in rough spoonfuls all
over the tower.
