Have ready a kettle of fat, place the iron in it and heat until
the fat is hot enough to brown a piece of bread while counting
forty. The fat should be deep enough to more than cover the
mold end of the iron. When the iron is heated, take out, remove
surplus fat, using crumpled tissue-paper, and lower into batter
until iron is covered to not more than three-fourths of its height.
This is necessary to allow for the rise of the batter in cooking.
If only a thin layer of the batter adheres to the mold, dip it
into the batter again until there is a smooth layer of the partly
cooked batter. Plunge quickly into hot fat and cook for about
twelve seconds.
When properly cooked, the timbale case should slip easily from
the mold. Place the finished case on absorbent paper to drain
and continue the operation until the required number are made.
A fluted timbale iron is easier to work with, as the case does not
slip off until thoroughly cooked. If the cases are not crisp, the
batter is too thick and should be diluted with milk. These cases
may be used with great variety. They may be filled with a choice
creamed vegetable, or wath creamed oysters, chicken or sweet-
breads, or they may be filled with fresh or cooked fruit topped
with whipped cream or powdered sugar, and served as a sweet
course.
