Custards, Creams Amd Desserts

Oven, in the book's wordsA moderate oven

Ingredients

Directions

The book says “a moderate oven”. The 350°F (175°C) in the steps is the modern equivalent, not the book's own figure.

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. Place shells in a baking pan and bake until the outside is slightly hardened.

  3. Carefully remove one shell, scoop out the soft inside with a spoon, and mix it back into the mixture.

  4. Fill the shells with currant jelly or jam.

  5. Join two shells together, using some of the mixture to cement them.

  6. Continue until you have enough assembled.

  7. For decoration, tint half of the shells pale pink and leave the others white.

  8. Serve on a high glass dish.
