Something sweet from the public-domain kitchen, kept the way its author wrote it.

Open it in the app → Scaled list, tap-off ingredients, and cook mode with timers. The iPhone app is coming soon; the web mockup runs it now.

Ingredients serves 4

  • 1quarter of a pound of rice
  • 1quarter of a pound of butter
  • 1quarter of a pound of sugar
  • 1pint and a half of milk, or cream and milk
  • 6eggs
  • 1tea-spoonful of mixed spice, mace, nutmeg and cinnamon
  • 1half wine-glass of rose-water

Method one step at a time, with timers in the app

  1. Wash the rice. Boil it till very soft. Drain it and set it away to get cold. Put the butter and sugar together in a pan, and stir them till very light. Add to them the spice and rose-water. Beat the eggs very light, and stir them, gradually, into the milk. Then stir the eggs and the milk into the butter and sugar, alternately with the rice.
  2. Bake it and grate nutmeg over the top.
  3. Currants or raisins, floured, and stirred in at the last, will greatly improve it.
