1/2 tea bicarb
1/4 lb ground almonds
2 tea vanilla
1 dessertspoon brandy
4oz milk
4 egg whites whisked until you can hold the bowl upside down and the whites don't fall out.

Cream butter and 3/4 of the sugar. Gradually add milk. Add semolina, Stir well and stand for one hour. Add egg yolks and rest of the sugar. Fold in four whisked egg whites, then flour, bicarb and almonds. Add brandy and vanilla
