Soufflé–Iced. No. 4. Lemon. (Lady Holland.)
Take 2 ozs. of fresh butter, the yolks of 12 eggs, the rind of 3 lemons and the juice of 2.
Stir all over the fire with a wooden spoon, sweetening to your taste; stir on till it gets thick like custard, but take great care it does not boil; let it then get quite cold.
Now whisk the 12 whites up quite stiff in a separate basin in a gentle heat and mix them with the cold custard; put the mixture into a silver soufflé dish and place in “ice cave” 3 or 4 hours.
