Belgium. Associated with Belgium by the book is about Belgian cookery (Cooking, Belgian); the recipe itself names no place (confidence 0.4). "Associated with" means only that the evidence named here links this recipe to that place. A recipe isn't labelled as representing an entire country because a source associates it with one, and regional origins are kept where the source gives them.

Ingredients

Method

  1. Quarter pound semolina, one and a half pints of milk, three eggs.
  2. Put on the milk, and, as soon as it is boiling, drop the semolina in, in a shower.
  3. Let it boil for a few minutes, stirring continually.
  4. Then add the yolks of three eggs, and then the whites, which you have already beaten stiff.
  5. Pour all on a dish, and cool.
  6. Have some boiling lard (it is boiling when it ceases to bubble), and throw into it spoonsful of the mixture.
  7. When they are fried golden, take them out, drain them a moment, and sprinkle on some white sugar.
