      TIPSY PARSON
R. V. J.

Moisten sponge cake with 1 cup of sherry wine. Make a custard of 1 pint of milk
and yolks of 3 eggs. Pour over cake while hot.

Just before it goes to the table, stick it full of blanched almonds. Beat the
whites to a stiff froth with 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar; then add 1 cup of
sweet cream and pour over cake.

Before adding the last, stir in candied fruit, if desired.
