1277. Banana Ice-cream.
—Prepare and proceed exactly the same as for the peach ice-cream ([No. 1276]), using four peeled, sound, and ripe bananas instead of the peaches, and finishing exactly the same as for the other.
1278. Lemon Ice-cream.
—Put half a pound of powdered sugar into a basin; grate in the rind of two fine lemons, add four egg whites, and mix well with a wire whip for two minutes, then add a pint of cold milk, stirring again for one minute. Place the basin on the hot stove, stir briskly with the whip, and take it off when coming to a boil, lay it on the table, and pour in a pint of sweet cream, mixing well for two minutes. Let it get cool during half an hour, then strain through a fine sieve into a freezer, and finish precisely the same as for vanilla ice-cream ([No. 1271]).

Have a syrup-weigher, place it in the centre of the preparation, and if it be twenty-one degrees it is correct, if not, add a little more powdered sugar; remove the weigher, mix a little more, and then strain through a sieve into the freezer, putting on the cover, and proceed to freeze it precisely the same as for vanilla ice-cream ([No. 1271]), serving it the same.
