  1. Wash twelve ounces of rice, put it into a stewpan with four ounces of butter, eight ounces of sugar, half an ounce of bitter, and four ounces of sweet almonds (pounded), one quart of milk, and a very little salt.
  2. Set the whole to boil very gently by the side of a slow stove-fire, and by the time the milk has become absorbed by the rice, the latter will be sufficiently done—or, if not, a little more milk should be added previously to setting it to boil a little longer.
  3. When the rice is done, mix in the yolks of six eggs and the whites of three, whipped.
  4. Shred four ounces of sweet almonds, and strew them equally over the inside of a plain mould, previously rather thickly buttered.
  5. Pour in the prepared rice, and bake the cake for about one hour and a half.
  6. When done, turn it out on to its dish, pour some diluted apple-jam round the base, and serve.

1365. RICE CAKE, WITH ALMONDS. WASH twelve ounces of rice, put it into a stewpan with four ounces of butter, eight ounces of sugar, half an ounce of bitter, and four ounces of sweet almonds (pounded), one quart of milk, and a very little salt; set the whole to boil very gently by the side of a slow stove-fire, and by the time the milk has become absorbed by the rice, the latter will be sufficiently done—or, if not, a little more milk should be added previously to setting it to boil a little longer. When the rice is done, mix in the yolks of six eggs and the whites of three, whipped. Next, shred four ounces of sweet almonds, and strew them equally over the inside of a plain mould, previously rather thickly buttered; then, pour in the prepared rice, and bake the cake for about one hour and a half; when done, turn it out on to its dish, pour some diluted apple-jam round the base, and serve. Note.—Rice cakes may also be flavored with vanilla, orange-flower, lemon and cinnamon, coffee, or any kind of liqueur; dried cherries, currants, sultana-raisins, candied-orange, lemon or citron, or pistachio kernels, may be added.
