5. _To make Barley Cream._
Take two Ounces of French Barley, and boil it in several Waters, then
take a quart of Cream, and boil it with whole Spice, put in your Barley,
and boil them together very well,
Then put in the yolks of six Eggs well beaten, and as much Sugar as you
think fit; stir them well over the fire, then poure it out, and when it
is cold serve it in; thus you may make Rice Cream, onely do not boil
that, but a very little in Milk, before you put it into the Cream.
6. _To make Cheese-cakes._
Take four Gallons of new Milk, set it with a little Runnet, and when it
is come, break it gently, and whey it very well, then take some Manchet,
first scalded well in new Milk, let the Milk be thick with it, and while
it is hot, put in a quarter of a pound of fresh Butter, and stir it in,
when it is cold, mix that and your curd together very well, then put in
one Pound and half of plumped Currans, some beaten Spice, a very little
Salt, Rosewater, and the yolks of eight Eggs, half a Pint of Cream, and
a little Sugar, mix them well together, then make some Paste, with
Flower, Butter, the yolk of an Egg and fair water, and roul it out thin,
and so bake them in bake-pans, and do not let them stand too long in the
Oven.
7. _Another way for Cheese-cakes._
Take the Curd of four Gallons of new Milk, and put thereto half a pound
of Almonds blanched and beaten fine with Rosewater, then put in one Pint
of Raw Cream, the yolks of ten Eggs, some beaten Spice, a little Salt,
one pound and half of plumped Currans, a little Rosewater, and some
Sugar, and so mix them very well, and put them into your Crust and bake
them.
8. _Another way for Cheese-cakes._
Take the Curd of four Gallons of new Milk, beat it well in a Mortar with
half a pound of fresh Butter, and then season it as you do the other
above-named.
9. _Another way for Cheese-cakes._
Take the same quantity of Curd, and mix it with half a Pound of Rice
boiled tender in Milk, one quarter of a pound of fresh Butter, the yolks
of eight Eggs, one Pint of Cream, beaten Spice, two pounds of Currans
first plumped, Rosewater and Sugar, and a little Salt, and so bake them,
not too much.
10. _To make fresh Cheese._
Take some very tender Cheese-Curd, stamp it very well in a Mortar with a
little Rosewater, wherein whole Spice hath been steeped, then let it
stand in a little Cullender about half an hour, then turn it out into
your Dish, and serve it to the Table with Cream, Wine, and Sugar.
11. _Another way for a fresh Cheese._
Take a quart of Cream, and boil in it whole Spice, then stir in the
yolks of eight Eggs, and four whites well beaten, and when they are hot,
put in so much Sack as will give it a good taste, then stir it over the
Fire till it runneth on a Curd, then beat it in a Mortar as the other,
and serve it to the Table with Cream and Sugar.
