sauce made of sour cream beaten to a froth with sugar and cinnamon and mixed
with arrac. A cold wine- or fruit sauce is also appropriate.
12. Egg Jelly. 1 quart of milk, 4 beaten eggs and the yolks of 5 eggs, 1 grated
lemon, sugar and cinnamon are put into a deep vessel, cover and set over boiling
water until thick. As soon as cold sprinkle with sugar and serve with a
cranberry sauce or some other well flavored compot.
13. Beaten Milk. Beat thick milk and its cream with a beater briskly for 15
minutes. Stir through it sugar and cinnamon and serve with toast. A glassful of
claret can also be beaten with it.
14. Sour Milk Cheese. Set a pan of thick milk without the cream near the stove
so that it will gradually separate from the watery parts. Pour into a muslin bag
and afterwards press through a sieve. Mix with it fresh cream or milk and sugar
and vanilla according to taste. Another method is to fill the cold sour milk
into the bag and let it hang during the night to permit the watery parts to drip
away. This makes the cheese smoother and mellower than if the milk is warmed,
but it is mixed with sugar and cream or fresh milk in the same manner. After
putting it into the dish and smoothing the top, sprinkle with sugar and a little
ginger, or else pour over it some sour cream beaten to a froth with sugar and
cinnamon. If no cream is mixed with the cheese it must not be made too thick,
and it should be taken into consideration that this cheese thickens naturally
when done, similar to boiled rice. Many like sour milk cheese with cranberries,
grapes or cherry compot.
15. Rice Pudding. Take about 1/2 pound of rice and 2 quarts of milk. Scald the
rice as directed in A, No. 5. melt a piece of butter in the milk which will
thereby be prevented from scorching, and bring it to a boil. Put in the rice
together with a few pieces of cinnamon--those not liking the flavor of cinnamon
may prefer vanilla--afterwards add a little sugar and trifle of salt, put the
rice into a dish and sprinkle with sugar; it is often dressed with melted
butter. If the rice is to be
