Norwegian Biscuits
Biscuits à la Norvégienne
Prepare some small shapes of lemon ice-cream as
below, and arrange them in little paper-cases; then fill up
with maraschino mousse (see page 173), place them on the
bottom of the charged ice cave for about one and a half
hours; then, when frozen, take up and sprinkle each with
pounded crystallised rose-leaves. Serve on a dish on a
dish-paper for dessert or for a ball-supper dish.
LEMON CREAM FOR NORWEGIAN BISCUITS.—Put in a
stewpan one pint of new milk with four ounces of castor
sugar and the very finely-chopped peel of two lemons that
have been entirely freed from pith; bring to the boil,
simmer it for about five minutes, then strain it on to the
raw yolks of eight eggs, and return the mixture to the
stove; stir it on the fire till thick (but the custard must
not boil), rub it through a hair-sieve or tammy-cloth, and
put it aside till cold; then pour it into the charged freezer
and freeze it to the consistency of a batter; add to it the
strained juice of two large or three small lemons, half a
wineglass of Silver Rays (white) rum, and half a pint of
whipped cream; refreeze, and fill any little fancy ice-
moulds with it; put them on the bottom of the charged
ice cave for about one hour, then dip each separately into
cold water, turn out, and use.
