Make Lemon Blancmange

A very summery and refreshing version of a blancmange.

Ingredients

 * 1 pint of water
 * 2 tablespoonfuls of cornflour
 * 1 lemon
 * 2 eggs
 * Sugar to taste

Steps

 * 1) Put the water in an enamel saucepan, and let it boil with the rind of the lemon in it. When boiling, add the cornflour mixed with a little cold water.
 * 2)  Allow it all to boil for a few minutes; then add sugar and the juice of a lemon.
 * 3)  Beat the whites of the eggs to a stiff froth, and beat the mixture well.
 * 4)  Pour into a mould.
 * 5)  Serve once set. It goes well with custard (see "Tips") and with fresh fruit salad.

Tips

 * Make a little custard to pour over the blancmange. Use 1/2 pint of milk, a little sugar, and lemon essence; whisk in the yolks of the eggs. This makes an excellent custard.
