Take
7 oranges, 1 lemon, 4 oz. of cornflour, 4 oz. of sugar, 4 eggs, some water. Take
the juice of the oranges and lemon and the grated rind of the latter. Add enough
water to the juice to make 1 quart of liquid. Set that over the fire to boil (keeping
back a 1/4 of a pint for mixing the cornflour smooth), and add the sugar. Separate
the yolks of the eggs from the white; beat up the yolks and add them to the
cornflour and juice when those are smooth. When the liquid over the fire boils,
stir in the mixture of eggs, cornflour, and juice, and keep all stirring over
the fire for 2 minutes. Have ready the whites of the eggs beaten to a stiff
froth, mix it lightly with the rest, and pour the mixture into wetted moulds.
Turn out when cold and
serve
when required.
