No. 2776 — Sweet Rice Pie
English historical translation of Molokhovets recipe No. 2776 from the 1901 Russian cookbook, retaining original methods and measures.
Prepare the dough of recipe No. 2792 or No. 2769. Cook 1 glass of rice, cool and mix with 1 small glass of rum, ½ glass of sugar, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and about 2 tablespoons of finely shredded candied orange peel No. 3782.
Roll the dough very thinly. The original describes making a covered pie with this prepared rice filling and baking it.
Historical editorial note: The final Russian phrase is ambiguous about pouring or enclosing the rice; no additional assembly directions have been invented.
