Plain Junket With Whipped Cream Recipe

Instructions

1. Crush one-fourth a junket tablet and let it dissolve in a tablespoon of cold water.
2. Heat one cup of rich milk and two or three level tablespoons of sugar to about 90 deg F.
3. As milk heats to this degree very quickly, the safest way is to set a thermometer into it on putting it over the fire.
4. Remove from the fire, take out the thermometer, and stir in half a teaspoon of vanilla or a tablespoon or two of sherry wine and the dissolved tablet.
5. A few grains of salt, less than one-fourth a teaspoon, may improve the dish for some.
6. Pour the preparation into two glass cups; let stand in a warm place till it jellies, then set aside in a cool place, to become chilled.
7. A short time before serving put a tablespoon of sugar and a few drops of flavoring into one-third a cup of double cream and beat it solid to the bottom of the bowl.
8. With a bag and tube, or a spoon, put the cream on to the top of the junket.
