Have a biscuit-glace preparation exactly the same as for No. 1286; cut ten biscuits a la cuillere (No. 1231) into dice-shaped pieces, and add them to the preparation. Then, with a wooden spoon, mix lightly for two minutes. With this fill a three-pint, melon-shaped form, and place the cover on. Have a pail, with broken ice in the bottom; lay the form on it, and fill the pail with more broken ice and rock-salt, and let it freeze thoroughly for two hours.
