English historical translation of Molokhovets recipe No. 1711 from the 1901 Russian cookbook, retaining original methods and measures.
Prepare homemade noodles No. 1707 or take one Russian pound vermicelli.
Boil four glasses milk with a spoonful butter, four or five lumps sugar pounded with vanilla and salt, add noodles and stir until boiling and thickening.
Cover and set into a hot oven for half an hour.
Spoon onto a serving dish, dipping the spoon into boiled cream each time; drizzle cream over and around the noodles and return to the hot oven.
Continue basting with cream until browned.
Historical editorial note: The ingredients table provides half a pound vermicelli instead of the pound specified in the method.
