A few drops Cox’s Vanilla Essence. Soak the Gelatine in a quarter pint of cold milk about fifteen minutes. Add the sugar and remaining milk and stir over the fire until the Gelatine is dissolved. Add the vanilla, and strain into a basin. Stir occasionally until cool, and when becoming quite creamy set in a wetted mould and put in a very cool place. (30) “FRUTUS” BLANCMANGE.
