Holstein Cream

Take the thin rind of a lemon, and let it soak by the side of the fire in a pint of cream for half an hour, and afterwards bring it slowly to a boil. Mix a tea-spoonful of ground rice very smoothly with the strained juice of the lemon and a little cold milk. Stir it into the boiling liquid, add two table-spoonfuls of sugar, and boil five minutes longer, stirring all the time. Slice a small spongecake, and lay it in a glass dish, pour the cream over, and garnish according to taste. If milk be used instead of cream, double the above quantity of ground rice will be required. Probable cost, 6d., if made with milk. Sufficient for three or four persons.
