Put one tablespoon of crushed loaf sugar into a pan. Let it get brown,
but do not let it burn, then add one pint of hot milk. Have ready three
ounces of fine florador (semolina will do) mixed with enough milk to
make it like thick cream, stir it into the milk just as it comes to
the boil, let it thicken, then add two ounces of butter, a little
more sugar to taste, and any flavouring approved of. Turn it into a
pie dish, and bake in the oven a nice brown on the top. Let it cool a
little, and sprinkle over the top some hundreds of thousands, and serve.
6. Boiled Banana Pudding.
Make a crust thus--a half pound of Coombs' Eureka Flour, a pinch of
salt, and a quarter pound of chopped suet. Mix well with enough water
to form it into a dough, roll out thin, line a plain well-greased
pudding mould with the paste, and fill in thus--some nice ripe bananas
cut in slices, a few cloves, the grated rind of half a lemon, the juice
of one lemon strained, one tablespoon of castor sugar, a small cup of
water. Cover over the top with paste, tie with a cloth wrung out of
boiling water. Steam for about two hours. Turn out carefully, and serve
with a nicely flavoured custard.
7. Banana Custard.
Well mash two bananas into a complete pulp. Put with one pint of milk
and the well beaten yolks of three eggs sugar and vanilla flavouring
to taste. Stir well. Put it into a pan, and put the pan into a larger
one with boiling water in it. Stir all the time for twenty minutes, and
pour it into custard cups. This is very delicious and novel.
8. Cocoa-nut Rice.
Boil a quarter pound of small rice in one pint of milk till quite soft.
Then add two ounces of butter, sugar to taste, and three ounces of
desiccated cocoa-nut. Stir well, and pour into a plain mould that has
been rinsed with cold water. Let it get cold. Turn out of the mould
into a glass dish, decorate with pretty sweets, such as those sold by
Messrs. Clark Nicholls and Coombs, or Mr. E. Roberts of Camberwell.
9. Cocoa-nut Macaroni.
Boil half a pound of macaroni in water till tender, drain, put it in
a pie dish. Mix with it a quarter pound of desiccated cocoa-nut. Well
beat up two eggs with rather more than a half pint of milk, with sugar
to taste. Pour it over the macaroni, and see that it is well covered.
Put a little dab of butter here and there over it. Bake it in the oven
a nice colour. Let it cool a little, and sprinkle castor sugar over it,
or any pretty fruits.
Vermicelli will answer the purpose quite as well.
10. Cream Rolls.
