1 teacupful motza meal, 1 pint milk, 2 eggs, 3 oz. brown sugar, 2 oz.
butter, rind of 1 lemon (tablespoonful rum, if liked).
Mix the meal into a batter with the milk and eggs, add the sugar, butter
(melted), grated rind of lemon, and rum. Pour the mixture into a greased
basin or mould, and boil for 1 hour, or bake ½ hour.

Grimslichs. Time—¾ hour.
2 motzas, ¼ lb. motza meal.
_Inside_: 2 oz. ground almonds, 2 oz. raisins, 2 oz. sultanas, ¼ lb.
currants, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ¼ lb. brown sugar, 2 eggs.
Mix the fruit, sugar, spice, almonds together with 1 egg. Soak the
motzas till quite soft, squeeze very dry, make into a crust with the
meal and the other egg. Shape a piece of this into an oval on the hand,
place some of the inside mixture on it, cover with a top piece, shape
carefully, and sprinkle with meal. Fry in hot fat or oil. Serve with
clarified sugar.
Motza Kleis. Time—¾ hour.
2 motzas, ½ lb. motza meal, 3 oz. suet, 1 tablespoonful chopped parsley,
2 chopped onions, 2 eggs, marjoram, pepper and salt to taste.
Soak the motzas in cold water till they are soft, then squeeze them very
dry. Chop the onions, brown them with a few drops of oil. Add them to
the motza, with the suet chopped fine, nearly all the meal, parsley,
marjoram, pepper, salt, and lastly, the eggs well beaten. Roll into
balls with the remainder of the meal, and throw into the boiling soup ½
hour before serving.
Motza Pudding (baked).
2 motzas, 2 tablespoonfuls meal, 2 oz. dripping, ½ lb. dried fruit, 2
eggs, 2 oz. brown sugar, spice to taste.
Soak the motzas in cold water, then squeeze them very dry. Prepare the
fruit, mix all the dry ingredients together, then add the eggs, well
beaten. Grease a pie-dish well, sugar it, fill it with the mixture, and
bake about ½ hour. Serve with clarified sugar (see page 39).
_Boiled motza pudding_ is made in the same way, but chopped suet must be
used instead of the dripping.
Potato Pastry. Time—1 hour.
¼ lb. cold boiled potatoes, 2 oz. potato flour, 2 oz. dripping, a pinch
of salt, a very little water.
Mash the potatoes through a sieve, then add the salt and potato flour,
and rub in the fat. Mix to a paste with a very little cold water.
Proceed as in fruit pie, page 45.
This paste may be used for meat pie, tartlets, &c., and will be found
very light.
Potato Pudding. Time 1¼ hour.
