PUDDING OF HAZELNUTS
(Budino di nocciuole)
Shell half a pound of hazelnuts in warm water and dry them well at the sun or on
the fire, then grind them very fine, together with sugar, of a weight somewhat
less than the nuts. Put one quart of milk on the fire, and when it begins to
boil, put two third lb. lady fingers or macaroons crumbed and let it boil for
five minutes, adding a small piece of butter. Rub everything through a sieve and
put back on the fire with the nuts to dissolve the sugar. Let it cool and add
six eggs, first the yolks, then the white beaten, pour in a mold greased with
butter and sprinkled with bread crumbs ground fine. The mold must not be all
full. Bake in the oven and serve cold.
This dose will be sufficient for eight or ten persons.
