Cream-Rice Cream. No. 1. (Orchard Leigh.)
(Middleton Lodge recipe is similar, but for that the cream is whipped till it is quite firm.)
Stew a good tablespoonful of rice in 3 parts of a pt. of milk for ½ hour uncovered, with ½ oz. of butter and just a pinch of salt; stir often as it stews, as if for a pudding; flavour with stick vanilla. Melt 1 oz. of isinglass or gelatine* in milk, and add it with ½ pt. of whipped cream to the rice, and mix all together.
Should the cream be very poor, you can mix in 2 table-spoonfuls of cold rich custard.
Pour into a hollow mould. It is sometimes served with fruit in the centre. A great improvement to this dish is to freeze it before serving.
