he whites; add the other ingredients, and beat all
together for at least 20 minutes, or until the batter is extremely
light. Put plenty of good lard into a frying-pan, and drop a
tablespoonful of the batter at a time into it, and fry the fritters a
nice brown. Serve them with the following sauce:--A glass of sherry
mixed with the strained juice of a lemon, and sufficient white sugar to
sweeten the whole nicely. Warm these ingredients, and serve the sauce
separately in a tureen. The fritters should be neatly dished on a white
d'oyley, and pounded sugar sprinkled over them; and they should be well
drained on a piece of blotting-paper before the fire previously to being
dished.

_Time_.--From 6 to 8 minutes.

_Average cost_, 9d.

_Sufficient_ for 3 or 4 persons.

_Seasonable_ at any time.

RASPBERRY CREAM.

1475. INGREDIENTS.--3/4 pint of milk, 3/4 pint of cream, 1-1/2 oz. of
isinglass, raspberry jelly, sugar to taste, 2 tablespoonfuls of brandy.

[Illustration: RASPBERRY CREAM MOULD.]

_Mode_.--Boil the milk, cream, and isinglass together for 1/4 hour, or
until the latter is melted, and strain it through a hair sieve into a
basin. Let it cool a little; then add to it sufficient raspberry jelly,
which, when melted, would make 1/3 pint, and stir well till the
ingredients are thoroughly mixed. If not sufficiently sweet, add a
little pounded sugar with the brandy; whisk the mixture well until
nearly cold, put it into a well-oiled mould, and set it in a cool place
till perfectly set. Raspberry jam may be substituted for the jelly, but
must be melted, and rubbed through a sieve, to free it from seeds: in
summer, the juice of the fresh fruit may be used, by slightly mashing it
with a wooden spoon, and sprinkling sugar over it; the juice that flows
from the fruit should then be used for mixing with the cream. If the
colour should not be very good, a few drops of prepared cochineal may be
added to improve its appearance. (_See_ coloured plate T1.)

_Time_.--1/4 hour to boil the cream and isinglass.

_Average cost_, with cream at 1s. per pint, and the best isinglass, 3s.

_Sufficient_ to fill a quart mould.

_Seasonable_, with jelly, at any time.

_Note_.--Strawberry cream may be made in precisely the same manner,
substituting strawberry jam or jelly for the raspberry.
