r one pint whipped cream soak a scant tablespoonful granulated
gelatine in enough water, cold, to barely cover, until soft; then add a
small half teacupful of boiling water and stir until the gelatine is
completely dissolved; after which add three-quarters of a cupful of
sugar and flavoring. Turn into a bowl and beat it with an egg beater
until it is white, like marshmallows, and begins to become firm. Just as
soon as it has reached that point, but before it commences to grow
stringy, beat it by spoonfuls into the cream. This will increase the
bulk of the latter, and it will keep firm any length of time.

same and stir until cold; then add two tablespoonfuls cream and pour
into mold. Stand two hours on ice before serving. Be careful and have
mold damp inside, but not wet, before using.
