Ingredients
- 1 pint of cream
- 3 tablespoonfuls of milk
- 6 small sponge-cakes
- 2 large tablespoonfuls of arrowroot
- 1 lemon
- 1/2 lemon
- 6 persons
Directions
1485. INGREDIENTS.--1/4 lb. of macaroons or 6 small sponge-cakes, sherry, 1 pint of cream, 5 oz. of lump sugar, 2 large tablespoonfuls of arrowroot, the rind of 1 lemon, the juice of 1/2 lemon, 3 tablespoonfuls of milk.
_Mode_.--Lay the macaroons or sponge-cakes in a glass dish, and pour over them as much sherry as will cover them, or sufficient to soak them well. Put the cream into a lined saucepan, with the sugar and lemon-rind, and let it remain by the side of the fire until the cream is well flavoured, when take out the lemon-rind. Mix the arrowroot smoothly with the cold milk; add this to the cream, and let it boil gently for about 3 minutes, keeping it well stirred. Take it off the fire, stir till nearly cold, when add the lemon-juice, and pour the whole over the cakes. Garnish the cream with strips of angelica, or candied citron cut thin, or bright-coloured jelly or preserve. This cream is exceedingly delicious, flavoured with vanilla instead of lemon: when this flavouring is used, the sherry may be omitted, and the mixture poured over the _dry_ cakes.
_Time_.--About 1/2 hour to infuse the lemon-rind; 5 minutes to boil the cream.
_Average cost_, with cream at 1s. per pint, 3s.
_Sufficient_ for 5 or 6 persons. _Seasonable_ at any time.
