. of dried Allinson
breadcrumbs, 3 oz. of cheese, 1-1/2 oz. of butter, 1 heaped-up
tablespoonful of Allinson wholemeal flour, a little nutmeg, and pepper
and salt to taste. Boil the cauliflower until half cooked, cut it into
pieces, and place them in a pie-dish. Boil the milk, adding the
seasoning, 1/2 oz. of the butter, and 1/2 a saltspoonful of the
nutmeg. Thicken with the wholemeal smoothed in a little cold milk or
water. Stir in the cheese and pour the sauce over the cauliflower.
Shake the breadcrumbs over the top, cut the rest of the butter in
bits, and place them over the breadcrumbs. Bake for 20 minutes to 1/2
an hour, or until the cauliflower is soft.
COMPOTE OF ORANGES AND APPLES.
6 oranges, 8 fine sweet apples, 1 oz. of ground sweet almonds, syrup
as in "Orange Syrup." Peel the oranges and the apples, cut them across
in thin slices, coring the apples and removing the pips from the
oranges. Arrange the fruit into alternate circles in a glass dish,
sprinkling the ground almonds between the layers. Pour over the whole
the syrup. Serve when cold.
CRUST FOR MINCE PIES.
1/2 lb. of Allinson fine wheatmeal, 1/2 lb. of medium oatmeal, 6 oz.
of butter or vege-butter, 1 cupful of cold water. Rub the butter into
the flour, add the water, and mix all into a paste with a knife. Roll
the paste out thin on a floured board, cut pieces out with a tumbler
or biscuit cutter. Line with them small patty pans, and fill them with
mincemeat; cover with paste, moisten the edges and press them
together, and bake the mince pies in a quick oven; they will be done
in 15 to 20 minutes.
GROUND RICE PANCAKES.
4 oz. of ground rice, 4 eggs, 1 pint of milk, jam, some sifted sugar,
and powdered cinnamon; butter or oil for frying. Make a batter of the
milk, eggs, and ground rice. Fry thin pancakes of the mixture,
sprinkle them with sugar and cinnamon, place a dessertspoonful of jam
on each, fold up, sprinkle with a little more sugar; keep hot until
all the pancakes are fried, and serve them very hot. When the pancakes
are golden brown on one side, they should be slipped on a plate,
turned back into the frying-pan, and fried brown on the other side.

2 oz. of macaroni, 1/2 pint of milk, 3 eggs, 3 oz. of Allinson fine
wheatmeal, sugar to taste, the grated rind of a lemon, butter, and 1
