Rum Sauce. No. 2. For Baba or Brioche. (Mrs. Gordon.)
Make a custard with the yolks of 3 eggs (no whites), tea-
spoonful of sugar, 2 tablespoonfuls of milk, 1 tablespoonful of
cream, 1 teaspoonful of rum, whip all over the fire in a bain-
marie pan in hot water until thick. Then put in a cool place to
get quite cold and set.
Whip 1 pt. of cream to a stiff froth, adding gradually a table-
spoonful of rum and 1 dessertspoonful of sugar, add this to the
cold custard and put it in the refrigerator for 20 minutes, then
serve. [In this recipe you may omit the first tablespoonful of
cream, and use 1 tablespoonful of rum where this says a tea-
spoonful.]
