2505—ALMOND SOUFFLED PUDDING Make a preparation as for No. 2504, but use almond milk instead of cow’s milk. Pour the preparation into buttered moulds, sprinkled with splintered and grilled almonds, and poach in a dazn- marie. As an accompaniment serve a white-wine Sabayon flavoured with orgeat. 2506—SOUFFLED PUDDING, DENISE Finely pound four oz. of freshly-washed and peeled almonds, and add thereto, from time to time, a few drops of fresh water. When the almonds form a smooth paste, add the necessary quantity of water to them to produce one pint of milk. Strain through muslin and slightly twist the latter in order to express all the contained liquid. 736 GUIDE TO MODERN COOKERY With this almond milk, dilute three oz. of flour and three oz. of rice cream, mixed in a saucepan, and take care that no lumps form. Strain the whole through a strainer, and add five oz. of sugar, three oz. of butter and a little salt. Set the saucepan on the fire ; boil, stirring thé while, and then stir briskly with a spatula until the preparation acquires’ the con- sistence of a thick paste and falls from the spatula without leaving any adhering portions. Pour this paste into a basin and combine therewith: first, little by little, two oz. of fresh butter; then, eight egg-yolks, two ounces of finely-pounded almonds moistened with a tablespoonful of kirsch and as much maraschino, and the whites of five eggs beaten to a stiff froth. This pudding is cooked in a dazn-marie in one of the following ways: (1) Ina buttered pie dish. In this case, on taking the pudding out of the daznz-marie, sprinkle its surface with icing sugar, and criss-cross it with a red-hot iron. (2) Ina shallow, buttered and dredged, Charlotte-mould. (3) In fairly shallow, buttered dome-moulds, lined inside with roundels one inch in diameter, stamped (by means of a fancy-cutter) out of a layer of Génozse or a layer of “ lady’s-finger-biscuit ” preparation, about one-third of an inch thick. In the two last cases, the pudding is coated with an apricot sauce, mixed with almond milk, and a sauceboat of the same sauce is served separately. 2507—LEMON SOUFFLED PUDDING Make the preparation for No. 2504, and flavour it with a piece of lemon rind. The treatment is the same. Serve an English custard, flavoured with lemon separately. 2508—ORANGE, CURACOA, ANISETTE, AND BENEDICTINE PUDDINGS, ETC. For all these puddings the procedure is the same as for No. 2504, and only the flavour changes. Accompany each with an English custard, flavoured like the particular pudding. 2509—INDIAN SOUFFLED PUDDING Take some souffiéd-pudding preparation and add to it two oz. of powdered ginger, and five oz. of candied ginger, cut into dice. Proceed in the same way as for No. 2504. As an accompaniment, serve an English custard flavoured with ginger.

Pour the whole into a deep, buttered border-mould, which only half fill, in view of the subsequent expansion of the preparation while cooking.
