Cooking -- Juvenile literature
Wet the corn-starch with half a cup of the milk, and heat what
is left. Stir up the corn-starch well, and when the milk is hot
put it in and stir; then boil five minutes, stirring all the time.
Melt the butter, and put that in with a pinch of salt, and cool it.
Beat the yolks of the eggs, and add the sugar, the juice of both
lemons, and the grated rind of one, pour into the milk, and stir well;
put in a buttered baking-dish and bake till slightly brown. Take
it out of the oven; beat the whites of two eggs with a tablespoonful
of granulated sugar, and pile lightly on top, and put in the oven
again till it is just brown. This is a very nice rule.
Rice Pudding with Raisins
1 quart of milk.
2 tablespoonfuls of rice.
One-third cup of sugar.
1/2 cup seeded raisins.
Wash the rice and the raisins and stir everything together till
the sugar dissolves. Then put it in a baking-dish in the oven.
Every little while open the door and see if a light brown crust
is forming on top, and, if it is, stir the pudding all up from
the bottom and push down the crust. Keep on doing this till
the rice swells and makes the milk all thick and creamy, which it
will after about an hour. Then let the pudding cook, and when
it is a nice deep brown take it out and let it get very cold.
Bread Pudding
2 cups of milk.
1 cup soft bread-crumbs.
1 tablespoonful of sugar.
2 egg yolks.
1 egg white.
1/2 teaspoonful vanilla.
1 saltspoonful of salt.
Crumb the bread evenly and soak in the milk till soft. Beat
it till smooth, and put in the beaten yolks of the eggs, the
sugar, vanilla, and salt, and last the beaten white of the
egg. Put it in a buttered pudding-dish, and stand this in a
pan of hot water in the oven for fifteen minutes. Take it out
and spread its top with jam, and cover with the beaten white
of the other egg, with one tablespoonful of granulated sugar
put in it, and brown in the oven. You can eat this as it is,
or with cream, and you may serve it either hot or cold.
Sometimes you can put a cup of washed raisins into the bread-crumbs
and milk, and mix in the other things; sometimes you can put in
a cup of chopped almonds, or a little preserved ginger. Orange
marmalade is especially nice on bread pudding.
Orange Pudding
Make just like Lemon Pudding, but use three oranges instead
of two lemons.
Cabinet Pudding
1 pint of milk.
Yolks of three eggs.
3 tablespoonfuls of sugar.
1 saltspoonful of salt.
Beat the eggs, add the sugar, and stir them into the milk,
which must be very hot but not boiling; stir till it thickens,
and then take it from the fire. Put a layer of washed raisins
in the bottom of a mould, then a layer of slices of stale cake
or lady-fingers, then more raisins around the edge of the mould,
and more cake, till the mould is full. Pour the custard over
very slowly, so the cake will soak well, and bake in a pan of
water in the oven for an hour. This pudding is to be eaten hot,
with any sauce you like, such as Foamy Sauce.
