1211. TIMBALE OF NOUILLES, A LA VANILLE.
PARBOIL the nouilles in water for ten minutes, then drain them on a
sieve, and afterwards put them in a stewpan with a pint of cream, a
table-spoonful of pounded vanilla, a pat of butter, six ounces of sugar,
a little salt; cover them with a circular piece of buttered paper,
and put on the lid; then set them on a slow fire to boil gently for
about three-quarters of an hour, by which time the cream will be ab-
sorbed by the nouilles; add the yolks of six eggs, and mix the whole
well together. Next, spread a plain round or oval mould with butter,
roll some nouilles paste out on the slab with the fingers, and use this
for the purpose of lining the mould with coiled round as closely as
possible, thus forming a kind of timbale; fill this with the prepared
nouilles, place it on a baking-sheet, and put it in the oven to be baked
of a fine light colour; when it is done, turn the timbale out of the
mould on to its dish, shake some fine-sifted sugar over it, glaze it with
the red-hot salamander, and serve.
