Rice Surprises

Ingredients

• 3 oz. rice
• 1 oz. butter
• 1 tea-cupful water
• 1 pt. milk
• 2 oz. sugar
• Some jam

Method

1. 1

   Wash the rice in several waters and put it into a saucepan with a tea-cupful of fresh cold water.

2. 2

   Let it boil quickly until the water is absorbed, then add the milk and butter.

3. 3

   Simmer slowly until the rice is thoroughly cooked and the mixture rather thick.

4. 4

   Stir occasionally, as it will be inclined to stick to the foot of the saucepan.

5. 5

   When ready, remove the saucepan from the fire and add the sugar and flavouring.

6. 6

   Rinse out some small cups or dariole moulds with cold water, three-quarters fill them with the rice, and make a little hollow in the centre.

7. 7

   Put a tea-spoonful of any nice jam into each, cover and fill up with more rice, and set aside to cool.

8. 8

   When firm, turn out on a glass dish, and serve with custard sauce poured round.
