Almond Flummery

Cover one ounce of gelatine with water; let it stand half an hour, then pour upon it a pint and a half of boiling milk or cream that has been flavoured with one ounce of sweet and one ounce of bitter almonds which have been previously blanched and pounded, and eight or nine lumps of sugar--in the lump, for fear of dust--on which a little lemon has been rubbed. Stir the mixture occasionally till cool, to prevent a scum forming. Strain it carefully. Pour it into a mould which has been wetted with cold water, and let it stand until quite firm. If liked, isin-glass may be used instead of gelatine. Probable cost, if made with milk, 1s. Sufficient for a quart mould, which will be enough for six or eight persons.
