very tender, then put it into a pot covered close, and that will make a
Jelly, then take a quart of Cream or new Milk, put it scalding hot to
the Rice, then take twenty Eggs, three quarters of a pound of melted
Butter, a little Salt, stirre all these well together, put as much
flowre to them as will make them hold frying, they must be fryed with
Butter, they must be made overnight, best.
