Milk Gnocchi

(Gnocchi di latte) One quart of milk.

Sugar, nine ounces.

Starch in powder, four ounces.

Eight yolks of eggs.

A taste of vanilla.

Mix everything together as you would do for a cream and put on the fire in a saucepan, continually stirring with a ladle. When the mixture has become hard keep it a few moments more on the fire and then pour it in a plate to make it about half an inch thick and cut it into diamonds when it is cold. Put these diamonds one over the other with symmetry in a baking tin or in a fireproof glass plate, with some little pieces of butter in between and brown them a little in the oven.

Serve hot. 208
