Ingredients 2 ingredients

  1. a pinch of salt
  2. Milk

Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.
  • Blending hot liquid. Let it cool a little first, fill the blender no more than a third, and hold the lid down with a folded towel. Start on the lowest speed. A stick blender in the pan is safer.

Method

  1. Blend the cornflour smoothly with a little cold milk, and put the remainder into a saucepan.
  2. Add the lemon-rind and a pinch of salt, simmer gently for 10 or 15 minutes, then strain over the blended cornflour, stirring meanwhile.
  3. Return to the saucepan, sweeten to taste, simmer gently for 5 minutes, and use as required.
  4. Any other flavouring may be substituted for the lemon-rind.
  5. Trme.—About 20 minutes.
  6. AVER- AGE Cost, 2d.
