M. à la crème au caramel.— Put into a stewpan
2oz. of caster sugar, a liqueur-glassful of white rum,
a tablespoonful of strained lemon juice, an ounce of
water, and boil it all till melted and of a pretty
golden brown colour, then stir this while hot into
one and a half pints of rich vanilla custard, in which
you have previously dissolved an ounce of leaf
gelatine, and when cold, mould and finish off as
before.
