Soufflé—Arrowroot. No. 2. Steamed. (Mrs. Bate.)
Melt 1 oz. butter in a stewpan, and mix smooth with it 2 tablespoonfuls of arrowroot; add gradually 1 pt. cold milk, sugar to taste, and the grated rind of a fresh lemon. Stir till it boils, then take it off, and add the yolks of 4 eggs (or beat the eggs with orange-flower water to flavour instead of using lemon); and later on add the well-whipped-up 4 whites.
Pour into a well-buttered hollow mould; close over, and steam ½ hour gently.
Serve any nice sauce in a boat with this.
