Little Indian Gems [Mrs. Grace Johnstone, Anglo-Indian) . — Boil one pint of milk, and mix three ounces of fine Florador into a thin paste with a little milk. As the milk in the pan comes to the boil stir in the Florador, taking care it does not get lumpy ; boil for about five or six minutes, till the mixture is quite thick. Now add two ounces of castor sugar, stir well, keep it on the fire one minute ; remove, and mix with it about three ounces of desiccated cocoanut
Cook this with the app: pantry check, scaling, and the assistant.
