Ingredients
- three quarts of new milk
- a quart of buttermilk
- a pound of sugar
- four ounces of warm butter
- a teacupful of good cream
- a glass of sweet wine
- six bitter almonds
- three eggs
Method
- Warm three quarts of new milk, and turn it with a quart of buttermilk: when ready, drain the curd through a sieve: when dry, pound it in a marble mortar, with near half a pound of sugar, a lemon boiled tender, the crumbs of a roll grated, a nutmeg grated, six bitter almonds, four ounces of warm butter, a teacupful of good cream, the yelks of five, and whites of three eggs, a glass of sweet wine, and one of brandy.
- When well incorporated, bake in small cups or bowls well buttered.
- If the bottom be not brown, use a salamander: but serve as quick as possible, and with pudding sauce.
