Half a pint of milk, two ounces of Walter
Baker & Co.'s Chocolate, three tablespoonfuls of sugar, one rounding
tablespoonful of butter, two tablespoonfuls of flour, four eggs.
Put the milk in the double-boiler, and place on the fire. Beat
the butter to a soft cream, and beat the flour into it. Gradually pour
the hot milk on this, stirring all the time. Return to the fire and cook
for six minutes.
Put the shaved chocolate, sugar, and two
tablespoonfuls of water in a small pan over a hot fire, and stir until
smooth and glossy. Stir this into the mixture in the
double-boiler.
Take from the fire and add the yolks of the eggs,
well beaten; then set away to cool. When cool add the whites of the
eggs, beaten to a stiff froth.
Pour the batter into a
well-buttered earthen dish that will hold about a quart, and cook in a
moderate oven for twenty-two minutes. Serve immediately with vanilla
cream sauce
