Soak a box of gelatine in half a pint of cold water for two hours. Put
one quart of milk in the double-boiler, and place on the fire. Shave
two ounces of Walter Baker & Co.'s Premium No. 1 Chocolate, and put
it in a small pan with four tablespoonfuls of sugar and two of boiling
water.
Stir over a hot fire until smooth and glossy, and then stir into the
hot milk. Beat the yolks of five eggs with half a cupful of sugar. Add
to the gelatine, and stir the mixture into the hot milk.
Cook three minutes longer, stirring all the while. On taking from the
fire, add two teaspoonfuls of vanilla and half a saltspoonful of salt.
Strain, and pour into moulds that have been rinsed in cold water. Set
away to harden, and serve with sugar and cream.
