The Art of Living in Australia: Together with Three Hundred Australian Cookery Recipes and Accessory Kitchen Information by Mrs. H. Wicken
Muskett, Philip E.
Australia -- Social life and customs; Cooking, Australian; Health; Hygiene
* 2 Eggs--2d.
*
* 1/2 oz. Butter--1/2d.
*
* 1 teaspoonful Jam--1/2d.
*
* Sugar--1/2d.
*
* Total Cost--31/2 d.
*
* Time--5 Minutes.
*
Put the yolks of the eggs into a basin and beat in half the sugar, put
the whites on to a plate with a little sugar, and whip till stiff; mix
with the yolks. Put the butter into a small frying-pan, and when it is
dissolved pour in the mixture; leave over the fire for about three
minutes. Then hold the pan in front of the fire for a minute or two to
brown the top. Put the jam on to a hot plate, slip the omelet on the
top; serve at once.
TAPIOCA MERINGUE
* 1 pint Milk--2d.
*
* 1 1/2 oz. Tapioca--1/2d.
*
* 1 oz. Sugar--1/2d.
*
* Whites of 2 Eggs--1d.
*
* Flavouring--1/2d.
*
* 1 oz. Beef Suet--1/2d.
*
* Total Cost--5d.
*
* Time--Two Hours.
*
Wash the tapioca well in cold water, strain off the water, and put it
into a pie dish. Chop the suet very finely and mix it in with the
sugar; flavour with grated lemon peel or nutmeg, pour over the milk and
mix well, stand in a very cool oven for two hours. Whip the
whites of the eggs to a very stiff froth, flavour the same as the
pudding, spread these on top, sprinkle with sugar, and stand in the
oven till set; serve cold. This meringue is very much improved if a few
macaroons are broken up and laid on the top before the eggs are put on,
or if a spoonful of raspberry jam is spread over.
HASTY PUDDING
* 1 pint Milk--2d.
*
* 1 oz. Butter--1d.
*
* 3 oz. Flour
*
* 2 oz. Sugar--1d.
*
* Total Cost--4d.
*
* Time--5 Minutes.
*
Put the milk on the fire to boil, and when boiling stir in the flour
quickly; it should be rather lumpy. Pour it into a dish, melt the
butter and sugar, and pour it in the middle of the pudding. A little
flavouring of grated lemon peel may be put into the milk, or jam served
with the pudding.
QUICK PUDDING
* 1 Egg
*
* 1 tablespoonful Flour--1d.
*
* 1 tablespoonful Jam
*
* 1 teaspoonful Sugar
*
* 1 teaspoonful Baking Powder--2d.
*
* Total Cost--3d.
*
* Time--5 Minutes.
*
Mix the flour and baking powder together, beat the egg till very light,
whisk in the sugar, and stir in the flour. Pour into a buttered tin,
and bake five minutes; turn on to a sugared paper spread with jam. Roll
up and serve. Custard sauce is nice with this.
STANLEY PUDDING
* 1 pint Milk
*
* 2 oz. Flour--2d.
*
* 1 oz. Sugar--1d.
*
* 2 Eggs--2d.
*
* 2 spoonful Jam--1d.
*
* Total Cost--6d.
*
* Time--One Hour.
*
Put the milk into a saucepan, mix the flour with a little cold milk;
and when the milk in the saucepan is nearly boiling, stir it in, and
let it boil up. Pour into a basin and beat in the yolks of the eggs and
the sugar; turn into a pie dish and bake till firm. Spread a spoonful
of jam on the top; whip the whites of the eggs to a stiff froth and
spread them over, sprinkle with sugar, and put back in the oven to set.
Serve cold.
