One egg is sufficient for about 1 lb., potatoes.
APPLE FRITTERS
* 3 Apples--2d.
* Frying Batter--1d.
* Hot Fat *
* Sugar *
* Lemon--1d.
* Total Cost--4d.
* Time--5 Minutes.
Peel and slice up the apples into rounds, take out the core with a small round cutter. Make frying batter by directions given elsewhere, and flavour with lemon juice. Dip in the pieces of apple, plunge into plenty of hot fat, and fry till a good colour. Drain on kitchen paper, pile high on a dish, and sprinkle well with sugar; serve very hot.
SWEET OMELET
* 2 Eggs--2d.
* 1/2 oz. b.u.t.ter--1/2d.
* 1 teaspoonful Jam--1/2d.
* Sugar--1/2d.
* Total Cost--31/2 d.
* Time--5 Minutes.
Put the yolks of the eggs into a basin and beat in half the sugar, put the whites on to a plate with a little sugar, and whip till stiff; mix with the yolks. Put the b.u.t.ter into a small frying-pan, and when it is dissolved pour in the mixture; leave over the fire for about three minutes. Then hold the pan in front of the fire for a minute or two to brown the top. Put the jam on to a hot plate, slip the omelet on the top; serve at once.
TAPIOCA MERINGUE
* 1 pint Milk--2d.
* 1 1/2 oz. Tapioca--1/2d.
* 1 oz. Sugar--1/2d.
* Whites of 2 Eggs--1d.
* Flavouring--1/2d.
* 1 oz. Beef Suet--1/2d.
* Total Cost--5d.
* Time--Two Hours.
Wash the tapioca well in cold water, strain off the water, and put it into a pie dish. Chop the suet very finely and mix it in with the sugar; flavour with grated lemon peel or nutmeg, pour over the milk and mix well, stand in a very cool oven for two hours. Whip the whites of the eggs to a very stiff froth, flavour the same as the pudding, spread these on top, sprinkle with sugar, and stand in the oven till set; serve cold. This meringue is very much improved if a few macaroons are broken up and laid on the top before the eggs are put on, or if a spoonful of raspberry jam is spread over.
HASTY PUDDING
* 1 pint Milk--2d.
* 1 oz. b.u.t.ter--1d.
* 3 oz. Flour *
* 2 oz. Sugar--1d.
* Total Cost--4d.
* Time--5 Minutes.
Put the milk on the fire to boil, and when boiling stir in the flour quickly; it should be rather lumpy. Pour it into a dish, melt the b.u.t.ter and sugar, and pour it in the middle of the pudding. A little flavouring of grated lemon peel may be put into the milk, or jam served with the pudding.
QUICK PUDDING
* 1 Egg *
* 1 tablespoonful Flour--1d.
* 1 tablespoonful Jam *
* 1 teaspoonful Sugar *
* 1 teaspoonful Baking Powder--2d.
* Total Cost--3d.
* Time--5 Minutes.
Mix the flour and baking powder together, beat the egg till very light, whisk in the sugar, and stir in the flour. Pour into a b.u.t.tered tin, and bake five minutes; turn on to a sugared paper spread with jam. Roll up and serve. Custard sauce is nice with this.
STANLEY PUDDING
* 1 pint Milk *
* 2 oz. Flour--2d.
