No. 1524 — Lemon and Cornflour Pudding with Meringue
English historical translation of Molokhovets recipe No. 1524 from the 1901 Russian cookbook, retaining original methods and measures.
Stir half a glass of maize flour into half a glass of cold water. Pour on two and a half glasses of boiling water, whisking briskly until smooth.
Cool a little; add one glass of fine sugar, three drops of lemon oil or zest of two lemons, a heaped teaspoon of lemon salt or juice of two lemons, and four yolks.
Beat until very smooth. Butter two paper moulds, fill and bake in a moderately hot oven for half an hour.
Turn out, spread with four whipped whites mixed with half a glass of fine sugar, and return briefly to the oven to brown.
Garnish with jam and pour syrup over before serving.
