Another Blancmange

Submitted by ballarat

"Found this and another version of this simple English dessert in Mum's recipes - storing here until testing it (but reckon it'll be fine) This one seems to have less cornflour and sugar than the others I have looked at on this site It uses lemon essence although I think boiling the milk with lemon rind would be nice as well. Have put 30 minutes cooking time to take into account some cooling period. Traditionally eaten cold so add time for the refrigerator."
