A Plain Soufflé

Ingredients

• 6 ounces rice-flour, arrowroot, or tous les mois
• 1/2 pint milk
• white sugar
• 5 eggs

Instructions

1. Mix well together six ounces of rice-flour, arrowroot, or tous les mois, with half a pint of milk flavoured with essence of almond and lemon peel, or orange-flour water.
2. Let it thicken over the fire, stirring to keep it smooth.
3. Sweeten with white sugar and add the beaten yolks of five eggs.
4. Proceed as in the last receipt, adding the whisked whites at the moment of placing the souflé into the oven.
5. If there happen to be no souflé dish, a cake-tin may make a tolerable substitute; a fringed paper should then line the tin, and a napkin should be twisted round it when brought to table.
