Almond Puddings. (Mrs. Wood.)
3½ ozs. of stale bread-crumbs, 2 ozs. of citron peel chopped fine,
2½ ozs. almonds chopped fine (most of them sweet, a couple or even
3 bitter), drop a little orange flower water over the almonds as
you chop them to prevent “oiling,” 2 ozs. of fresh butter, 1½ ozs.
of castor sugar, 3 eggs well beaten and ½ pint of boiling milk.
Mix all thoroughly well together and bake a nice brown in
cups or dariole moulds well buttered.
They should rise high and be very light.
Serve on a napkin, standing up just as they did in the moulds,
not on their heads or they will get heavy.
Serve Frothed Sauce or German Sauce (see Sweet Sauces)
in a boat; no sauce in the dish itself.
