Lettuce Salad with Cream Dressing.
- ½ cupful of new milk, if you have no cream.
- 1 teaspoonful of corn-starch.
- Whites of 2 eggs, beaten stiff.
- 3 tablespoonfuls of vinegar.
- 2 tablespoonfuls best salad oil.
- 2 teaspoonfuls powdered sugar.
- 1 teaspoonful of salt.
- ½ teaspoonful of pepper.
- 1 teaspoonful of made mustard.
Heat the milk (or cream) almost to boiling; stir in the corn-starch wet up with cold milk. Boil up, add the sugar, and take from the fire. Cool, beat in the frothed whites, oil, pepper, mustard and salt, and, when the lettuce is shred fine, add the vinegar to the dressing, and pour over it. Toss up with a silver fork. Eat very soon.
Wayne Pudding.
- 2 full cups of prepared flour.
- ½ cup of butter.
- 1 cup of powdered sugar.
- 1 lemon, the juice and half the grated peel.
- ½ lb. of citron, cut into very thin strips.
- 5 eggs, whites and yolks beaten separately.
Cream butter and sugar; add the beaten yolks; whip up light with the lemon, then add the whites, alternately with the flour. Butter a mould abundantly, line it with the strips of citron; put in the batter, a few spoonfuls at a time; cover and set in a pan of boiling water, in a good oven. Keep plenty of boiling water in the pan, and cook steadily one hour and a half. Dip into cold water and turn out upon a hot plate. Eat warm with wine or brandy sauce. Leave room in the mould for the pudding to swell. Never heat a pudding or cake mould before greasing it or the batter will stick.
