1 quart fresh milk.
1 cup raw rice.
2 tablespoonfuls butter.
1 cup of sugar.
4 eggs, beaten light.
Grated peel of half a lemon.
Pinch of cinnamon and the same of mace.
Soak the rice in the milk for two hours in a farina-kettle, surrounded by warm water. Then increase the heat, and simmer until the rice is tender. Cream butter and sugar, and whisk into the eggs, until very light. When the rice is almost cold, stir all together, and bake in a buttered dish three-quarters of an hour. Eat warm with sauce, or cold with sugar and cream.
