1/2 pk. gelatine, dissolved in 1/2 c. cold water.
2 c. cold water.
1 c. sugar.
Juice of 2 lemons.
Whites of 3 eggs.
Boil water, sugar and lemon juice together; then add gelatine. When partly stiff beat with an egg beater till light; then add beaten whites and beat altogether till stiff and white like snow. Pour in wet mold. Serve with custard sauce.
Yolks of 3 eggs.
2 c. milk.
1/4 tsp. salt.
1/2 c. sugar.
Lemon flavoring.
Heat milk in double boiler; add milk slowly to the beaten yolks of eggs; then add sugar and salt and cook for just a few seconds. Then add flavoring; remove at once from the vessel in which it was cooked, or else it will cause the custard to have a curdle appearance. This sauce may be served with a number of desserts.
