A Sweet Dish of Macaroni

Ingredients

• 1/4 lb macaroni
• 1-1/2 pint milk
• the rind of 1/2 lemon
• 3 oz lump sugar
• 3/4 pint custard No. 1423

Instructions

1. Put the milk into a saucepan, with the lemon-peel and sugar; bring it to the boiling-point, drop in the macaroni, and let it gradually swell over a gentle fire, but do not allow the pipes to break.
2. The form should be entirely preserved; and, though tender, should be firm, and not soft, with no part beginning to melt.
3. Should the milk dry away before the macaroni is sufficiently swelled, add a little more.
4. Make a custard by recipe No. 1423;
5. place the macaroni on a dish, and pour the custard over the hot macaroni;
6. grate over it a little nutmeg, and, when cold, garnish the dish with slices of candied citron.
