Australia -- Social life and customs; Cooking, Australian; Health; Hygiene
* 1 bundle Rhubarb--3d.
*
* 6 oz. Sugar--1 1/2d.
*
* 1/4 lb. Sago
*
* 1/2 pint Water--1 1/2d.
*
* Total Cost--6d.
*
* Time--20 Minutes
*
Wipe and cut up the rhubarb and put it on to boil with one gill water,
and boil for about ten minutes. Wash the sago and soak it in one gill
warm water, then add to the rhubarb. Stir in also the sugar, and boil
for about ten minutes or longer, stirring constantly. Pour into a basin
or mould which has been dipped in cold water, and stand away till cold
and firm, then turn out and serve. A little boiled custard is a great
improvement to this dish.
APPLES AND RICE
* 3 Large Apples--2d.
*
* 2 oz. Rice--1d.
*
* 2 oz. Sugar--1/2d.
*
* 1 tablespoonful Jam--1d.
*
* 1 Egg--1d.
*
* 1/2 pint Milk--1d.
*
* Total Cost--61/2 d.
*
* Time--Half an Hour.
*
Peel the apples and scoop out the core and fill in with jam; put into a
pie-dish and bake till the apples are soft. While they are baking, boil
the rice and milk together till the rice is soft and the milk absorbed.
Beat in the egg and sugar, pour over the apples; brush over with milk,
and bake till a nice colour. Serve either hot or cold.
RICE BLACMANGE
* 1 pint Milk--2d.
*
* 1 1/2 oz. Ground Rice--1/2d.
*
* 1 oz. Sugar
*
* Flavouring--1d.
*
* Total Cost--31/2 d.
*
* Time--5 Minutes.
*
Put the milk on to boil with a strip of lemon peel in it; when
nearly boiling mix the rice in a spoonful of cold water and pour it in.
Stir till it boils, and let it boil two or three minutes; pour into a
mould which has been dipped in cold water, and stand away till firm.
Turn out when cold, and serve with jam, stewed fruit, or custard sauce.
DEVONSHIRE JUNKET
* 1 quart Milk--4d.
*
* 1 tablespoonful Rennet
*
* 1 oz. Sugar--1d.
*
* Nutmeg--1/2d.
*
* Total Cost--51/2 d.
*
* Time--Two Hours.
*
Make the milk tepid, stir in the sugar and a spoonful of rennet or a
rennet tablet; pour into a dish and stand on the stove till solid.
Grate a little nutmeg on top and serve cold. Rennet can be bought at
the chemist's ready for use; but rennet tables, which answer very
nicely, can be used instead. These can be bought in many places, and
keep good a long time.
BANBURY CAKES
* 1/2 lb. Pastry--5d.
*
* 1 oz. Currants
*
* 1 oz. Raisins
*
* Half a Lemon
*
* Half an Orange--2d.
*
* 1 oz. Cake or Bread Crumbs--1/2d.
*
* 1 oz. Sugar--1/2d.
*
* Total Cost--8d.
*
* Time--20 Minutes.
*
Stone the raisins and chop them lightly, put them into a basin with the
currants cleaned, the sugar, and the cake or bread crumbs. Mix
together, grate over the rind of half a lemon, and half an orange.
Strain in the juice, and let it stand for an hour. Roll out the pastry
and cut into rounds about three inches long. Lay a little of the
mixture in the centre, close over the pastry, turn the cake
over, flatten it out in the middle. Brush over with sugar, and bake in
rather a quick oven. Serve warm.
