Let the rice get cold, and form it into balls about as large as nuts ; dip these in egg, roll in bread-crumbs, and fry quickly. When the balls are nicely browned, pile them on a white doily, strew sifted sugar over them, and serve hot. Send wine sauce to table Avith them. Or, boil three ounces of rice in a l^int of milk to a stiff paste. Sweeten and flavour it, and mix with it two well-beaten eggs, an ounce of fresh butter, and two table- spoonfuls of orange marmalade. Stir it over the fire till the eggs are set, then spread it on a dish to cool. Cut it into narrow strips the length and thickness of a finger, dip these into frying-batter, and fry in hot fat till they are brightly browned. Powder sugar over them, and serve on a napkin. The batter may be made as follows: — Melt an ounce of butter in half a quarter of a pint of boiling milk, and cool it by adding an equal quantity of cold water. Stir in gradually four ounces of flourRice Fritters, and beat the mixture till it is smooth. Add the well-whisked white of an egg, and use immediately. Or, mix a quarter of a pound of ground rice smoothly with a pint of milk, and add a pinch of salt and three table-spoon- fuls of sugar. Stir the mixture over the fire till it leaves the saucepan with the spoon, then pour it out, and when cold add two table- spoonfuls of flour, three eggs, and a little flavouring, and beat the mixture till smooth. Fry it in spoonfuls in hot fat. \'\Tien the fritters are nicely browned, drain them on a sieve, and serve on a neatly-folded napkin, with powdered sugar sifted over them. Time to fry, six or se^^en minutes. Sufficient for five or six persons. Rice Froth. — Wash a quarter of a pound of rice, and boil it in a pint of water until the liquor is absorbed. Pom- over the rice a quart of milk, and let it boil gently till it is tender. Stir frequently to keep it from burning. Sweeten and flavour with lemon or almond flavoiu-ing. If the flavouring is an essence, it should be di'opped upon the sugar ; if lemon- rind or almonds are used, they should be boiled with the milk. Put the rice and milk when cold into a glass dish. Beat the whites of three eggs to froth, and mix with them two table- spoonfuls of powdered and sifted sugar. Lay this on the rice, and place on the top in spoon- fuls a quarter of a pound of raspberry jamRice Froth. Rice Froth (another way.)— To one-third of a pound of rice allow one quart of nev/ milk, the whites of three eggs, three ounces of loaf sugar finely-pounded, a stick of cinnamon, or eight or ten drops of almond flavouring, or six or eight young laiurel-leaves, and a quarter of a pound of raspberry jam. Boil the rice in a i^int of water. When the rice is absorbed, add the milk, and let it go on boiling until quite tender, keeping it stirred to prevent burning. If cin- namon or laurel-leaves are used, boil them with the milk, and remove them when the rice is sufficiently done ; if essence of almonds be used as a flavouring, it may be dropped amongst the sugar. Wlien the rice-milk is cold, put it into a glass dish or china bowl, beat up the whites of the eggs to a froth with the sugar, cover the rice with it, and stick bits of rasp- RIC (747) RIC berry jam over the top. This is a cheap and an ornamental dish.
