2 raw e.4gs.
4 hard boiled yolks.
Y'z 2l corned tongue cooked.
Some chopped mushrooms and aspic
jelly-
Steep the livers in water to whiten them.
If the poultry livers are short weight use

mer in a saucepan with a lid on the back
part of the range and let remain till a con-
venient time, 2 or 3 hours. Then mash to
paste. The livers bhould be nearly dry in

3 pints and cover the bottom with very
thin slices of fat salt pork, press in the
liver paste, put on top a bay leaf and
slice or two of pork and a buttered pa-
per over that . Set the mould in a pan
of water in the oven and bake about
an hour. Turn it out of the pan or
mould when cold, remove the fat and
it is ready for use, but if to be set on
the table whole, proceed as for a galan-
tine of chicken and encase it in aspic
jelly.
Cost of material [about 45 cents for
25^ pounds or about the same as boned
chicken.

It is an outside casing of cake filled
with a thick cream, which ought to be
real cream thick enough to whip to froth ;
if such cannot be had, a thin cream can
be made firm by adding gelatine to it ;
and if no cream ^ at all then make the
same thing of milk and whip it up light
as explained at No. 865.
There are many ways -of putting up a
charlotte .
1. Procure 3 or 4 dozen lady fingers
(No. 4) and a tin shape, which is nothing
more than a hoop of tin with straight-up
sides, like a three pint milk cup would
be without a bottom. It may be either
round or oval according to the dish to be
used to set the charlotte on the table.
Cut the edges of the lady-fingers straight,
wet them with white of egg and line the
shape with them set upright and the
shape being on the dish. Whip the
cream to firm froth, sweetening and fla-
voring at the same time ; fill up the shape
with iL and let it remain in a cold place
till wanted, then carefully lift off the tin
shape and the cream will keep the form
together if it was double cream at the start
— ttiat is cream that has stood on the
milk two days before skimming.
If not sure of the cream being firm
enough, then add gelatine according to
directions for Bavaiian cream.
There is no covering of cake in this,
but the surface of tne cream may be or-
namented with some of the same cream
in a cornet or ornamenting tube the
same as if it were icing.
2. When a shorter way must be
adopted bake a good sponge cake in a
round mould. No. 281 is as good as any

with a liberal allowance of powder. Then
cut out the inside to use as cake and take
the shell or crust to^ fill with whipped
cream. If the cake is evenly baked of
light color this way does very well ; and
where the charlotte is to be sliced and
served individually, as in most hotels,
the long and narrow moulds such as
loaves of bread are baked in may be
found most suitable, as the charlotte can
then be cut across. ✪ Charlotte Russe
