Butter Cream (Norwegian)
Crème de Beurre à la Norvégienne
Put one pint of cream into a stewpan with the finely-
chopped peel of a lemon, two tablespoonfuls of orange-
flower water, and three ounces of castor sugar; bring to
the boil; then mix on to twelve raw yolks of eggs, and
return the mixture to the stewpan. Stir it over the fire
with a wooden spoon until the mixture thickens and pre
sents a creamy appearance; then rub it through a clean
tammy, flavour with half a wineglass of Maraschino, a
teaspoonful of vanilla essence, and set it aside till cold.
When ready to use put the mixture into the freezer and
freeze dry; then roll up with cold-wetted butter pats;
print in the usual way as for butter, then put the pats into
a charged ice cave for about thirty minutes before serving.
Dish up in a border of lemon-ice water (‘Book of Ices,’
page 27), garnishing with blanched and finely-shredded
Pistachio nuts, and serve with any nice cake, such as
chocolate, orange, strawberry, &c., for a dinner or luncheon
sweet.
