Semolina Pudding with Almonds

Plunge two ounces almonds in boiling water for three minutes; drain, peel and chop very finely, place in a saucepan with a pint milk, two ounces fine sugar, one ounce butter, the zest of a rind of lemon, one teaspoon almond essence, and half saltspoon salt. Set the pan on the fire and as soon as it comes to a boil slowly dredge in two and a half ounces of semolina, continually mixing with a wooden spoon while adding it. Slowly cook for ten minutes, occasionally mixing; remove from the fire, add three egg yolks, one by one, continually mixing while adding them. Beat up the whites of the three eggs to a froth and gently mix in the preparation with a skimmer for one minute. Lightly butter and flour six individual pudding moulds and fill with the preparation, place them in a pastry tin, pour hot water into the pan up to half the height of the mould, and set in oven for twenty minutes. Remove, unmould on a large dish, spread a Sabayon sauce over and serve.
