Pudding Of Roasted Almonds Recipe

(Budino di mandorle tostate)



Milk, one quart.

Sugar, three and a half ounces.

Sweet almonds, two ounces.

Lady-finger biscuits, two ounces.

Three eggs.



First prepare the almonds, that is to say skin them in warm water and

toast them on the fire over a plate of iron or a stone, then grind very

fine. Boil the sugar and the lady-fingers, broken in little pieces in

the milk, mixing well. After half an hour of boiling, keeping always

stirred, rub the mixture through a sieve. Then add the toasted and

ground almonds. When it is cold add the beaten eggs, pour it in a smooth

mold, whose bottom will be covered with a film of liquified sugar and

cook in a double boiler, that is to say put the mold well closed in a

kettle full of boiling water.



When cooked let it cool and place in ice-box before serving.
