To Heat Timbale Iron. Heat fat until nearly hot enough to fry uncooked mixtures. Put iron  
into hot fat, having fat deep enough to more than cover it, and let stand until heated. The only  
way of knowing when iron is of right temperature is to take it from fat, shake what fat may  
drip  
from it, lower in batter to three−fourths its depth, raise from batter, then immerse in hot fat. If  
batter does not cling to iron, or drops from iron as soon as immersed in fat, it is either too hot  
or not sufficiently heated.

To Form Timbales. Turn timbale batter into a cup. Lower hot iron into cup, taking care  
batter covers iron to only three−fourths its depth. When immersed in fat, mixture will rise to  
that  
top  
of iron, and when crisp and brown may be easily slipped off. If too much batter is used, in  
cooking it will rise over top of iron, and in order to remove timbale it must be cut around with  
a
sharp knife close to top of iron. If the cases are soft rather than crisp, batter is too thick and  
must be diluted with milk.
