Snow Pudding, No. 2.

1/2 pint of boiling water.

1/2 gill of cold water.

2 tablespoonfuls of corn starch.

2 tablespoonfuls of sugar.

2 tablespoonfuls of lemon juice.

Whites of two eggs.

Put the sugar, lemon juice, and boiling water in a small saucepan,—not tin,—and set on the fire. Mix the cold water with the corn starch and stir into the boiling liquid. Put the saucepan in another pan of boiling water, and, after covering, cook the mixture for ten minutes. Beat the whites of the eggs to a stiff, dry froth, and stir them into the cooked corn starch. Wet a mould in cold water and turn the mixture into it. Set away to cool. Serve with a custard sauce made the same as for snow blancmange.
