2511—Mousseline Pudding
Work four oz. of butter and four oz. of powdered sugar to a pomade, and add the yolks of ten eggs, one by one; meanwhile stirring the preparation.
Set the latter on a moderate fire until it veneers the withdrawn spoon; then immediately add the whites of seven eggs beaten to a stiff froth.
Pour the whole into a deep, buttered border-mould, which only half fill, in view of the subsequent expansion of the preparation while cooking.
Poach in a bain-marie for about thirty minutes, and let the pudding stand for ten minutes before turning it out.
As an accompaniment serve a light Sabayon or a fruit sauce.
