Get as many nice plain, round, smooth, little rolls as you may require.
Cut a little piece off the top of each with care; now scoop out the
crumbs out of each with very great care, and also take off any crumbs
there may be on the pieces cut off the tops. Well beat two eggs with
about one cup of milk. Add a little sugar to taste. Put the custard in
a bowl, dip each roll and the piece cut off in the custard, but not
enough to moisten it so that it gets too soft. Now fry all of them in a
bath of boiling lard a nice golden brown. Drain on a sieve. When cold,
fill each one up thus--a little guava jelly at the bottom, and then
cream whipped stiff and flavoured with a little sugar, the grated peel
of half a lemon, and a little lemon juice. Then put on the top that was
cut off, sprinkle over with castor sugar. Serve on a dish paper. These
are delicious.
11. Semolina Cup Puddings.
Put on one pint of milk in the pan, with two ounces of fresh butter
and sugar to taste, and some grated rind of lemon to taste. Have ready
about three ounces of semolina mixed with enough milk to make it like
thick cream. Pour it into the milk just as it comes to the boil; stir
well, and let it get very thick. Pour into very small cups that have
been rinsed in cold water. When cold, turn out in a glass dish, neatly,
and pour over it a nicely flavoured custard, and grate over the top a
little nutmeg. Each cup can be decorated with dried fruit if desired,
but it is very simple and nice as it is.
12. Cream Cake Pudding.
Make a cake thus--one pound of Coombs' Eureka Flour, a quarter pound
of sugar, a quarter pound of butter. Mix well together; add three well
beaten eggs with enough milk to make the mixture like very thick
whipped cream. Pour it into a well-buttered quite plain pudding mould
(tin), bake a nice colour, let it stand about ten minutes, and then
turn out. Next day scoop out all the inside, leaving a wall of cake
about one and a half inches thick; fill this up as follows--a layer
of strawberry jam, then a layer of thick cream, till it is filled up;
cover the top with cream, and smooth with a wet palette knife; decorate
the top with two nice strawberry sweets in the middle, and some
half moon almond paste sweets laid round the edges, either plain or
interlaced, by putting a second round over the first, then stick three
long pieces of angelica, and make a tripod handle. This is pretty and
nice.
