Cook safely

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

  • Hot sugar. Hot sugar sticks to skin and burns far hotter than boiling water: don't touch or taste it. Keep a bowl of cold water close, and keep children away while it cooks.

Method

  1. Mix thirty egg-yolks with one quart of cold syrup at 28°.
  2. Put the mixture on a slow fire, and cook it as for an English cream ;
  3. strain it, and whisk it on ice until it is quite cold.
  4. Add three pints of very stiff, whisked cream and one-fifth pint ICES 8ii of brandy or rum, in order to finish it ;
  5. mould the preparation in Parfait moulds, and pack them in a freezer for from two to three hours.
  6. N.B.
  7. — The term " Parfait," which, formerly, was applied only to " Parfait au Cafd," has become the common name for un-clothed ices, made from Bombe-preparations having but one flavour.
  8. And this is fairly logical, seeing that Bombe-preparations, but for a few insignificant distinctions, are exactly like Parfait-preparation.
  9. It is therefore just as reasonable to make vanilla, chocolate, and pralined Parfaits, etc., as to make them with coffee.
