Sweeten one quart cream, flavor it with wine and whip it lightly.
Dissolve half a box gelatine in a tablespoonful cold water and the
same quantity of boiling water. Set over the steam of a kettle to
dissolve. Then add half a pint of cream. When cold, stir it into the
whipped cream. Beat the whites of four eggs very light, and stir into
the cream. When it begins to stiffen, pour into a glass bowl, lined
with thin strips of sponge cake. Whip, sweeten and flavor another pint
of cream, and garnish the dish.--_Mrs. D._
_Charlotte Russe._
One ounce gelatine; one quart rich cream; eight eggs; one quart new
milk. Sugar and flavoring to taste. Whip the cream to a stiff froth.
Make a custard of the milk, gelatine and yolks of the eggs. When cool,
add the whites of the eggs well beaten and the whipped cream. Line the
mould with sponge cake, and if in summer put it on ice.--_Miss M. C.
L._
BAKED CUSTARD.
Boil a quart or three pints of cream, or rich milk, with cinnamon, and
three dozen beaten peach kernels, tied in a piece of muslin, or you
may substitute some other flavoring, if you choose. After boiling, let
it cool.
Then beat the yolks of fourteen eggs and whites of four, sweeten and
strain in a pitcher. After it has settled, pour it in cups and set
them in the oven, putting around them as much boiling water as will
reach nearly to the top of the cups. Let it boil till you see a scum
rising on top the custard. It will require at least ten minutes to
bake.--_Mrs. R._
_Baked Custard._
Seven eggs; one quart milk; three tablespoonfuls sugar. Flavor to
taste.--_Mrs. Dr. E._
_Baked Custard._
Scald eight teacups milk. (Be careful not to boil it.) After cooling,
stir into it eight eggs and two teacups sugar. Bake in a dish or cups.
Set in a stove pan and surround with water, but not enough to boil
into the custard cups. An oven for baking puddings is the right
temperature. Bake when the custard is set, which will be in twenty
minutes.--_Mrs. J. J. A._
SPANISH CREAM.
Boil, till dissolved, one ounce of gelatine in three pints of milk.
Then add the yolks of six eggs, beaten light, and mixed with two
teacups sugar. Put again on the fire and stir till it thickens. Then
set it aside to cool, and meantime beat the six whites very stiff and
stir them into the custard when almost cold. Pour into moulds. Flavor
to your taste, before adding the whites.--_Mrs. W._
_Spanish Cream._
Dissolve half a box gelatine in half a pint milk. Boil one quart milk,
and while boiling beat six eggs separately and very light. Mix the
yolks with the boiling milk, and when it thickens add the gelatine.
Sweeten and season to the taste. Pour all while hot on the whites of
the eggs. Pour into moulds.--_Mrs. J. T. B._
ITALIAN CREAM.
Soak a box of gelatine in one pint cold water. Then add one quart nice
cream, season with fresh lemons, sweeten to your taste, beat well
together, and set away in a cool place. When hard, eat with cream,
flavored with wine.--_Mrs. A. B._
