Crumble up half a dozen sponge cakes, cover them with a custard made
thus--two bananas mashed to a pulp, two eggs well beaten, one pint of
milk, sugar to taste, and vanilla flavouring. Pour over the sponge
cakes, stir well together, put over the top little dabs of butter here
and there; bake a nice brown. Decorate with pink castor sugar sprinkled
over the top.
24. Strawberry Cream Pudding.
Mix some cochineal with ordinary clear plain jelly; line a plain mould
with this. Let it set about a quarter of an inch thick, then fill up
the mould with the following--half a pound of strawberries passed
through a sieve; mix with one cup of good thick cream, sugar to taste,
and a little liquid jelly. Mix well together, and pour it in the lined
mould. Let it get quite cold and set; dip the mould into hot water for
a second; whip the water off, and turn out on a glass dish. Decorate
with leaves and flowers of the strawberry.[1]
[1] Raspberries can be done the same way.
25. Hen's Nest Pudding.
Get some egg shape moulds, fill them with a mixture made as recipe No.
11, only using fine florador instead of semolina. When cold, turn
in thus--cut into thin chips some pale lemon and orange peel, so as
to resemble straw as much as possible. Take off all the sugar, put
the chips in a glass dish (a round one is best), form them as much
as possible like a nest, and lay the eggs in them. Serve with a nice
custard in custard glasses separately. This is a pretty dish when well
made. Some use jelly cut in strips instead of the peel, but it must be
very carefully done to look nice.
26. Fancy Sweets.
