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 flour✪ Rice 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 jam✪ Rice 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.
