Ingredients

  • 1/2 teaspoonful of carbonate of soda
  • 2 bunches on the meat
  • 4 tablespoonfuls of grated horseradish
  • 1 teaspoonful of pounded sugar
  • 1 teaspoonful of salt
  • 1/2 teaspoonful of pepper
  • 2 teaspoonfuls of made mustard
  • 4 tablespoonfuls of cream added to the above very much improve the appearance
  • 1/2 breakfast-cupful of sugar
  • 1 breakfast-cupful of rich sour cream
  • 2 breakfast-cupfuls of flour
  • 4 persons

Directions

1

_Ingredients._—½ breakfast-cupful of sugar, 1 breakfast-cupful of rich sour cream, 2 breakfast-cupfuls of flour, ½ teaspoonful of carbonate of soda, honey to taste. _Mode._—Mix the sugar and cream together; dredge in the flour, with as much honey as will flavour the mixture nicely; stir it well that all the ingredients may be thoroughly mixed; add the carbonate of soda, and beat the cake well for another 5 minutes; put it into a buttered tin, bake it from ½ to ¾ hour, and let it be eaten warm. _Time._—½ to ¾ hour. _Average cost_, 8_d._ _Sufficient_ for 3 or 4 persons. _Seasonable_ at any time.

2

HORSERADISH.

3

This root, scraped, is always served with hot roast beef, and is used for garnishing many kinds of boiled fish. Let the horseradish remain in cold water for an hour; wash it well, and with a sharp knife scrape it into very thin shreds, commencing from the thick end of the root. Arrange some of it lightly in a small glass dish, and the remainder use for garnishing the joint; it should be placed in tufts round the border of the dish, with 1 or 2 bunches on the meat. _Average cost_, 2_d._ per stick. _Seasonable_ from October to June.

4

HORSERADISH SAUCE, to serve with Roast Beef.

5

_Ingredients._—4 tablespoonfuls of grated horseradish, 1 teaspoonful of pounded sugar, 1 teaspoonful of salt, ½ teaspoonful of pepper, 2 teaspoonfuls of made mustard; vinegar. _Mode._—Grate the horseradish, and mix it well with the sugar, salt, pepper, and mustard; moisten it with sufficient vinegar to give it the consistency of cream, and serve in a tureen; 3 or 4 tablespoonfuls of cream added to the above very much improve the appearance and flavour of this sauce. To heat it to serve with hot roast beef, put it in a _bain marie_ or a jar, which place in a saucepan of boiling water; make it hot, but do not allow it to boil, or it will curdle.

6

_Note._—This sauce is a great improvement on the old-fashioned way of serving cold-scraped horseradish with hot roast beef. The mixing of the cold vinegar with the warm gravy cools and spoils everything on the plate. Of course, with cold meat, the sauce should be served cold.
