CHEESE, WITH MACARONI (another way) (Boil a quarter of a pound)

Boil a quarter of a pound of macaroni in milk and water until it is tender but firm, then drain it and place it at the bottom of a well-buttered pie-dish. Whisk well the yolks of two eggs, and stir into them a breakfast-cupful of cream and half a cupful of the liquid in which the macaroni was boiled. Stir this gently over the fire until it thickens, but on no account allow it to boil. Pour it on the macaroni, and sprinkle over the top three table-spoonfuls of grated cheese. Brown the mixture before a clear fire, or with a salamander, and serve. Time to boil the macaroni, one hour and a half. Probable cost, 1s. 8d. Sufficient for four or five persons.
