Custard Sauce. No. 2. Whisked. (Mrs. Wellington.)
Take 3 yolks of egg, a little cream in a teacupful of milk, 2
tablespoonfuls of sugar, 1 dozen sweet and 1 single bitter almond,
all 13 almonds pounded and passed through a sieve; whisk all
these good things together in a bain-marie till the sauce thickens.
If you have no almonds, use 2 drops of essence of peach kernel or
stick vanilla.
Rub the iron whisk with lemon juice before using, or it will
give an unpleasant taste to the sauce. If this sauce is served
cold, add a teacupful of well-whipped cream.
Serve with baked "Nudels" and "Petits Choux" (see Sweet
Dishes).
