Rice Milk, No. 1. Wash and clean nicely a gill of rice, and let it soak for an hour, as in the recipe on preceding page ; then put it over the fire in a small kettle, and let it boil until every grain of the rice is thoroughly swelled and tender. It is usually served in small deep plates, and eaten with the addition of sugar and a little nutmeg. Rice Milk, No. 2. Boil a gill of rice in water until tender; pour oflf the water, and add a teacupful of fresh milk into which two well-beaten eggs have been stirred; boil all together for five minutes, stirring constantly to prevent the rice stick- ing to the bottom of the pan and burning; sweeten while hot with a table-spoonful of white sugar, and grate nut- meg over the top, when its flavor is relished. Rice Shapes. Pound half a pound of rice in a mortar until quite fine; put it in cold water and let it remain until nearly soft; then pour off the water, and put the rice into a stewpan with one pint of sweet milk; set it on the top of the stove, and let it cook until thick and smooth like mush; sweeten with a teacupful of white sugar, and flavor delicately with whatever you like — (rose-water is very suitable); dip your blanC'tnange moulds in water ; fill them, and the shapes will be ready to turn out in half an hour. Dish it with boiled custard or whipped syllabub; but plain cream and a little jelly or jam make a nice dessert for sick or well. VmaiNIA COOKERY-BOOK. 315 Clover Tba.
