Orange Sponge

Put into a pan half a pint of hot water, a table-spoonful of castor sugar, half an ounce of leaf gelatine, and the thinly pared rind of two oranges. Stir over the fire till the gelatine is melted. Strain into a basin, and add the juice of the two oranges. Let it cool a little, and add the white of a raw egg. Whisk till it becomes a stiff froth. Before it becomes quite stiff pour it into a damp mould, put in a cool place, or on ice, and when set turn it out. Probable cost, 1s.
