Ingredients
- 1 pint of milk
- 6 eggs
- 2 laurel
- 1/2 lemon
- 1/4 inch
Directions
1277. INGREDIENTS.--1 pint of milk, 3 oz. of ground rice, 3 oz. of butter, 1/4 lb. of sugar, flavouring of lemon-peel or bay-leaf, 6 eggs, puff-paste, currants.
_Mode_.--Infuse 2 laurel or bay leaves, or the rind of 1/2 lemon, in the milk, and when it is well flavoured, strain it, and add the rice; boil these for 1/4 hour, stirring all the time; then take them off the fire, stir in the butter, sugar, and eggs, and let these latter be well beaten before they are added to the other ingredients; when nearly cold, line some patty-pans with puff-paste, fill with the custard, strew over each a few currants, and bake from 20 to 25 minutes in a moderate oven.
_Time_.--20 to 25 minutes. _Average cost_, 1s. 1d.
_Sufficient_ to fill a dozen patty-pans.
_Seasonable_ at any time.
FRUIT TURNOVERS (suitable for Pic-Nics).
1278. INGREDIENTS.--Puff-paste No. 1206, any kind of fruit, sugar to taste.
_Mode_.--Make some puff-paste by recipe No. 1206; roll it out to the thickness of about 1/4 inch, and cut it out in pieces of a circular form; pile the fruit on half of the paste, sprinkle over some sugar, wet the edges and turn the paste over. Press the edges together, ornament them, and brush the turnovers over with the white of an egg; sprinkle over sifted sugar, and bake on tins, in a brisk oven, for about 20 minutes. Instead of putting the fruit in raw, it may be boiled down with a little sugar first, and then inclosed in the crust; or jam, of any kind, may be substituted for fresh fruit.
_Time_.--20 minutes.
_Sufficient_--1/2 lb. of puff-paste will make a dozen turnovers.
_Seasonable_ at any time.
