+Cream Cakes Glasse.+-- Boil 1/2 pint milk with 2 ounces butter, add 4
ounces flour, stir until it forms into a smooth paste and loosens
itself from the bottom and sides of the saucepan, transfer the paste
to a dish, and when nearly cold add the yolks of 4 eggs, and last
the beaten whites; drop this mixture (by tablespoonfuls) on to
buttered tins, not too close together, brush them over with the
beaten egg, and bake to a fine golden color and well done. When done
and cold, cut the cakes open on the side and fill them with vanilla
cream, No. 129; half the quantity of cream will be sufficient. Place
the cakes on a sieve, boil 1 cup of sugar with 1/2 cup water till the
sugar begins to turn light brown (caramel), instantly remove, and
pour it over the cakes.
