Vegetarian cooking
Special recipes for every kind of fruit tart are not given, as the
same rules apply to all. For the crust either of the recipes given for
pie-crusts may be used, and the fruit tarts can be made either open,
with a bottom crust only, with top and bottom crust, or with a top
crust only. When any dried fruit is used, like prunes, dried apricots,
apple-rings, &c., these should first be stewed till tender, and
sweetened if necessary, and allowed to cool; then place as much of the
fruit as is required into your tart, cover it with a crust, and bake
until the crust is done. If an open tart is made, only very little
juice should be used, as it would make the crust heavy.
Summer fruit, like strawberries, raspberries, currants, cherries, and
gooseberries need not be previously cooked. Mix the fruit with the
necessary sugar, and it the tart is made with a top crust only, a
little water can be added and an egg-cup or a little tea-cup should be
placed in the pie-dish upside down to keep up the crust.
BLANCMANGE TARTLETS.
1 pint of milk, 3 oz. of ground rice, 1 teaspoonful of sugar, a few
drops of almond essence, any kind of jam preferred. Make a blancmange,
of the milk, ground rice, and flavouring; grease some patty pans, fill
them with the blancmange mixture, place a spoonful of jam on every
tartlet, and bake them 10 minutes.
CHEESECAKES (ALMOND).
3 oz. of sweet ground almonds, 1/2 oz. bitter ground almonds, 3 oz.
castor sugar, 1 egg, 1 dessertspoonful of orange-water. Pound the
almonds well together with the orange-water, and the sugar, beat the
egg and mix it well with the almonds. Line 8 or 10 little cheesecake
tins with a short crust, bake them, fill with the almond mixture, and
serve cold.
CHOCOLATE TARTS.
6 oz. of Allinson fine wheatmeal, 2 oz. of butter, 2 oz. of Allinson
chocolate (grated), 1 dessertspoonful of sugar, 1/2 oz. of ground
rice, 4 eggs, well beaten, and 1 pint of milk. Mix the milk with the
ground rice, add to it the chocolate smoothly and gradually; stir the
mixture over the fire until it thickens, let cool a little and stir in
the eggs; make the meal and butter into a paste with a little cold
water; line a greased plate with it, and pour the cooled custard into
it; bake the tart 1/2 hour in a moderate oven.
MARLBOROUGH PIE.
6 good-sized apples, 1 oz. of butter, 3 eggs, the juice and rind of 1
lemon, 1 teacupful of milk, sugar to taste, and some paste for crust.
Steam or bake the apples till tender and press them through a sieve
while hot, add the butter, and let the mixture cool; beat the yolks of
the eggs, add to them the milk, sugar, lemon juice and rind, and add
all these to the apples and butter; line a dish with paste, fill it
with the above mixture, and bake the pie for 1/2 hour in a quick oven;
whip the whites of the eggs stiff, adding a little castor sugar, heap
the froth over the pie, and let it set in the oven.
