A COMMON RICE PUDDING.
Throw six ounces of rice into plenty of cold water, and boil it gently
from eight to ten minutes; drain it well in a sieve or strainer, and put it
into a clean saucepan with a quart of milk; let it stew until tender,
sweeten it with three ounces of sugar, stir to it, gradually, three large,
or four small eggs, beaten and strained; add grated nutmeg, lemon
rind, or cinnamon to give it flavour, and bake it one hour in a gentle
oven.
Rice, 6 oz.: in water, 8 to 10 minutes. Milk, 1 quart: 3/4 to 1 hour.
Sugar, 3 oz.; eggs, 3 large, or 4 small; flavouring of nutmeg lemon-
rind, or cinnamon: bake 1 hour, gentle oven.
QUITE CHEAP RICE PUDDING.
Boil the rice in water, as for a currie, and while it is still warm, mix
with it a pint and a half of milk, and three fresh or four or five French
eggs (at many seasons of the year these last, which are always
cheap, are very good, and answer excellently for puddings.)
Sweeten it with pale brown sugar, grate nutmeg on the top, and bake
it slowly until it is firm in every part.
RICHER RICE PUDDING.
Wash very clean four ounces of whole rice, pour on it a pint and a
half of new milk, and stew it slowly till quite tender; before it is taken
from the fire, stir in two ounces of good butter, and three of sugar;
and when it has cooled a little, add four well-whisked eggs, and the
grated rind of half a lemon. Bake the pudding in a gentle oven from
thirty to forty minutes. As rice requires long boiling to render it soft in
milk, it may be partially stewed in water, the quantity of milk
diminished to a pint, and a little thick sweet cream mixed with it,
before the other ingredients are added.
Rice, 4 oz.; new milk, 1-1/2 pint; butter, 2 oz.; sugar, 3 oz.; eggs, 4;
rind of 1/2 lemon: 30 to 40 minutes, slow oven.
RICE PUDDING MERINGUÉ.
Mix very smoothly five ounces of flour of rice (or of ground rice, if
preferred), with half a pint of milk, and pour it into a pint and a half
more which is boiling fast; keep it stirred constantly over a gentle fire
from ten to twelve minutes, and be particularly careful not to let it
burn to the pan; add to it before it is taken from the fire, a quarter of
a pound of good butter, from five to six ounces of sugar, roughly
powdered, and a few grains of salt; turn it into a pan, and stir it for a
few minutes, to prevent its hardening at the top; then mix with it, by
degrees but quickly, the yolks of eight eggs, and the whites of two,
the grated or rasped rind of a fine lemon, and a glass of brandy. Lay
a border of rich paste round a buttered dish, pour in the pudding,
strain a little clarified butter over the top, moisten the paste with a
brush, or small bunch of feathers dipped in cold water, and sift plenty
of sugar on it, but less over the pudding itself. Send it to a very
gentle oven to be baked for three-quarters of an hour.
Rice-flour (or ground rice), 5 oz.; new milk, 1 quart: 10 to 12
minutes. Butter, 4 oz.; sugar, 5 to 6 oz.; salt, 1/2 saltspoonful; yolks,
8 eggs; whites, 2; rind, 1 large lemon; brandy, large wineglassful: 3/4
hour, slow oven.
Obs.—These proportions are sufficient for a pudding of larger size
than those served usually at elegant tables; they will make two small
ones; or two-thirds of the quantity may be taken for one of moderate
size. Lemon-brandy or ratifia, or a portion of each, may be used to
give it flavour, with good effect; and it may be enriched, if this be
desired, by adding to the other ingredients from three to four ounces
of Jordan almonds, finely pounded, and by substituting cream for
half of the milk.
COMMON GROUND RICE PUDDING.
One pint and a half of milk, three ounces and a half of rice, three
of Lisbon sugar, one and a half of butter, some nutmeg, or lemon-
grate, and four eggs, baked slowly for half an hour, or more, if not
quite firm.
GREEN GOOSEBERRY PUDDING.
With a pound and a quarter of fine mealy potatoes, boiled very dry,
and mashed perfectly smooth while hot, mix three ounces of butter,
five or six of sugar, five eggs, a few grains of salt, and the grated rind
of a small lemon. Pour the mixture into a well-buttered dish, and
bake it in a moderate oven for nearly three-quarters of an hour. It
should be turned out and sent to table with fine sugar sifted over it;
or for variety, red currant jelly, or any other preserve, may be spread
on it as soon as it is dished.
Potatoes, 1-1/4 lb.; butter, 3 oz.; sugar, 5 or 6 oz.; eggs, 5 or 6;
lemon-rind, 1; salt, few grains: 40 to 45 minutes.
Obs.—When cold, this pudding eats like cake, and may be served
as such, omitting, of course, the sugar or preserve when it is dished.
A RICHER POTATO PUDDING.
Even when very dry, the remains of a sponge or a Savoy cake will
serve excellently for a pudding, if lightly broken up, or crumbled, and
intermixed or not, with a few ratifias or macaroons, which should also
be broken up. A custard composed of four eggs to the pint of milk if
small, and three if very large and fresh, and not very highly
sweetened, should be poured over the cake half an hour at least
before it is placed in the oven (which should be slow); and any
flavour given to it which may be liked. An economical and clever
cook will seldom be at a loss for compounding an inexpensive and
good pudding in this way. More or less of the cake can be used as
may be convenient. Part of a mould of sweet rice or the remains of a
dish of Arocē Docē (see Chapter XXIII.), and various other
preparations may be turned to account in a similar manner; but the
custard should be perfectly and equally mingled with whatever other
ingredients are used. Macaroni boiled tender in milk, or in milk and
water, will make an excellent pudding; and sago stewed very thick,
will supply another; the custard may be mixed with this last while it is
still just warm. Two ounces well washed, and slowly heated in a pint
of liquid, will be tender in from fifteen to twenty minutes. All these
puddings will require a gentle oven, and will be ready to serve when
they are firm in the centre, and do not stick to a knife when plunged
into it.
BAKED APPLE PUDDING, OR CUSTARD.
Weigh a pound of good boiling apples after they are pared and
cored, and stew them to a perfectly smooth marmalade, with six
ounces of sugar, and a spoonful or two of wine; stir them often that
they may not stick to the pan. Mix with them while they are still quite
hot, three ounces of butter, the grated rind and the strained juice of a
lemon, and lastly, stir in by degrees the well-beaten yolks of five
eggs, and a dessertspoonful of flour, or in lieu of the last, three or
four Naples’ biscuits, or macaroons crushed small. Bake the pudding
for a full half hour in a moderate oven, or longer should it be not
quite firm in the middle. A little clarified butter poured on the top, with
sugar sifted over, improves all baked puddings.
Apples 1 lb.; sugar, 6 oz.; wine 1 glassful; butter, 3 oz.; juice and
rind, 1 lemon; 5 eggs: 1/2 hour, or more.
Obs.—Many cooks press the apples through a sieve after they are
boiled, but this is not needful when they are of a good kind, and
stewed, and beaten smooth.
DUTCH CUSTARD, OR BAKED RASPBERRY PUDDING.
(Extremely Good.)
Blanch, and then pound
carefully to the smoothest
possible paste four ounces of
fine Jordan almonds and half a
dozen bitter ones, moistening
them with a few drops of water
to prevent their oiling. Stir to
them by slow degrees a quart of boiling milk, which should be new,
wring it again closely from them through a thin cloth, which will
absorb it less than a tammy, and set it aside to cool. Wash
thoroughly, and afterwards soak for about ten minutes seven ounces
of Carolina rice, drain it well from the water, pour the almond-milk
upon it, bring it very slowly to boil, and simmer it softly until it is
tolerably tender, taking the precaution to stir it often at first that it
may not gather into lumps nor stick to the pan. Add to it two ounces
of fresh butter and four of pounded sugar, and when it is perfectly
tender and dry, proceed with it exactly as for Gabrielle’s pudding, but
in moulding the rice press it closely and evenly in, and hollow it in the
centre, leaving the edge an inch thick in every part, that it may not
break in the oven. The top must be slightly brushed with butter
before it is baked, to prevent its becoming too dry, but a morsel of
white blotting paper will take up any portion that may remain in it.
When it is ready to serve, pour into it a large jarful of apricot jam, and
send it immediately to table. If well made it will be delicious. It may
be served cold (though this is less usual), and decorated with small
thin leaves of citron-rind, cut with a minute paste-cutter. The same
preparation may be used also for Gabrielle’s pudding, and filled with
hot preserved fruit, the rice scooped from the inside being mixed with
the syrup.
