Dr. Allinson's cookery book, comprising many valuable vegetarian recipes
Allinson, T. R. (Thomas Richard)
Vegetarian cooking
4 eggs, 1/2 lb. of Allinson fine wheatmeal, 1 pint of milk, pepper and
salt to taste, 1 oz. of butter. Thoroughly beat the eggs, make a
batter of them with the flour and milk, and season it. Well butter a
shallow tin, pour in the batter, and cut the rest of the butter in
bits. Scatter them over the batter and bake it 3/4 of an hour. Serve
with vegetables, potatoes, and sauce. To use half each of Allinson
breakfast oats and wheatmeal flour will be found very tasty.
BAKED CARAMEL CUSTARD.
1-1/2 pints of milk, 5 eggs, vanilla essence, 4 oz. of castor sugar
for the caramel, and a little more sugar to sweeten the custard. Heat
the milk, whip up the eggs, and carefully stir the hot milk into the
beaten eggs; flavour with vanilla and sugar to taste. Meanwhile put
the castor sugar into a small enamelled saucepan and stir it over a
quick fire until it is quite melted and brown. Add about 2
tablespoonfuls of hot water to the caramel, stir thoroughly, and pour
it into a tin mould or a cake tin. Let the caramel run all round the
sides of the tin; pour in the custard, and bake it in a moderate oven,
standing in a larger tin of boiling water, until the custard is set.
Let it get cold, turn out, and serve. This is a very dainty sweet
dish.
_MENU VII._
POTATO SOUP.
2 lbs. of potatoes, 1/2 a stick of celery or the outer stalks of a
head of celery, saving the heart for table use, 1 large Spanish onion,
1 pint of milk, 1 oz. of butter, a heaped-up tablespoonful of finely
chopped Parsley, and pepper and salt to taste. Peel, wash, and cut in
pieces the potatoes, peel and chop roughly the onion, prepare and cut
in small pieces the celery. Cook the vegetables in 8 pints of water
until they are quite soft. Rub them through a sieve, return the fluid
mixture to the saucepan; add the milk, butter, and seasoning, and boil
the soup up again; if too thick, add more water. Mix the parsley in
the soup just before serving.
BREAD AND CHEESE SAVOURY.
1/2 lb. of Allinson bread, 3 oz. of grated cheese, 1 pint of milk, 3
eggs, pepper and salt to taste, a little nutmeg, and some butter. Cut
the bread into slices and butter them; arrange in layers in a
pie-dish, spreading some cheese between the layers, and dusting with
pepper, salt, and a little nutmeg. Finish with a good sprinkling of
cheese. Whip up the eggs, mix them with the milk, and pour the mixture
over the bread and cheese in the pie-dish. Pour the custard back into
the basin, and repeat the pouring over the contents of the pie-dish.
If this is done two or three times, the top slices of bread and butter
get soaked, and then bake better. This should also be done when a
bread and butter pudding is made. Bake the savoury until brown, which
it will be in about 3/4 of an hour.
ORANGE MOULD.
