cake pan with a removable bottom; shake off excess flour. Melt butter
in a small saucepan; cool slightly. Put eggs, sugar and vanilla in a
large bowl. Set bowl in a larger one containing hot water or use a
double boiler off the heat. Beat at high speed 10 to 12 minutes or
until mixture is pale and thick and has tripled in volume. Sift
flour over batter in several batches, gently folding in with a
spatula after each addition. Gradually add cooled butter, folding
gently until well blended. Pour batter into prepared pan. Cook 20
to 25 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center of cake comes

until mixture is pale and thick. Gradually beat in flour. Very slowly
stir half the hot milk into yolk mixture. Pour mixture into pan

or until custard has a medium-thick consistency. Do not let mixture
boil. Place custard in bowl. Cover and refrigerate.

boiler, beat egg yolk and sugar until pale and thick. Set bowl or top

STUDYNYNA RYBIACHA (FISH IN ASPIC)

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 10 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Fish Main dish
Christmas Russian

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
1 lg Firm Fleshed Fish — (White
-fish, Canadian Sole,
-Flounder, About 2 Pounds)
3 Fish Heads And Trimmings
2 lg Onions
2 lg Carrots
4 Black Peppercorns — To Taste
1 lg Bay Leaf
2 tb Sugar
2 ts Salt
1 pk Plain Geletin — (1 Envelope)

Wast the whole fish and fish heads in cold water. Run
a knife over the fish, scraping from tail to head, to
remove any leftover scales. Rinse the gut cavity.
Cut off the head at the gills, rinse again and cut
into equal pieces. Rub inside and out with salt and
set aside. Remove the gills from the heads. Combine
the fish heads, tail, fins and all ingredients in a 4
quart pot, then cover with 6 cups of cold water.
Bring to a boil, skimming off the foam, then reduce to
a gentle simmer. Cook for 20 minutes or until the
heads are cooked through. Using a small sieve, lined
with a wet towel or cheesecloth, pour the liquid into
a 2 quart jar. When most is poured off, press lightly
on the remains and pour off the rest. Place the
sections of fish in about 2 cups of stock. Bring to a
gentle boil and simmer for about 10 minutes or until
the fish turns white. Do NOT overcook or the pieces
will fall apart. With a slotted spoon, remove the
fish pieces and place on a platter to cool. When cool
enough to handle, remove the skin and bones trying to
keep the pieces large and not ragged. Cover and cool.
Strain the cooking liquid again and add to the rest of
the stock. For a more intense flavor, stock may be
reheated and reduced by a third. Dissolve the gelatin
in 1 cup of fish tock and add. Taste and add salt if
needed. Cool. Pour in enough stock to cover the
bottom of a 6 cup fish mold or glass pan by 1/2 inch.
Reftigerate until set. Remove the peel from thecooked
carrots and slice them into thin rounds. Arrange the
carrot rounds in an attractive pattern on the aspic,
add a little more cooled stock, and cool until set.
Evenly spread the fish pieces over the aspic, covering
with more stock, cooling until set. Continue to add
stock until the fish is completely covered.
Refrigerate overnight.

TO SERVE:

Run a sharp knife around the edge of the mold. Place
a platter on top of the mold and invert. (A hot damp
cloth helps to release it.) Garnish with parsley
sprigs and lemon slices just before serving.
