I, GEORGE PINDER MERRILLS, of 55, Walker Street, Hull, in the County of
Yorkshire, Dairyman, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
-
The object of my invention is to prepare a powder which can be put up in packets
or the like and sold to the public, allowing of it being mixed afterwards by the
purchaser into a delicious ice-cream.
-
For the purpose of my invention, I employ the following ingredients:-
Vanilla or other suitable sugar, egg yellow, flour, rice, cornflour, salt; these
ingredients are mixed together in suitable proportions, and when thus mixed form
a powder which can be put up in packets or the like and sold to the public; the
purchaser making the delicacy adds the only two extra ingredients required, namely
milk and sugar, the whole is frozen in any suitable manner and forms a delicious ice-
cream which is thus prepared with little or none of the trouble required in making
ice-cream in the ordinary manner.
This powder when packed can be kept for a considerable time and is ready for
use when required.

I, GEORGE PINDER MERRILLS, of 55, Walker Street, Hull, in the County of
Yorkshire, Dairyman, do hereby declare the nature of this invention, and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement :-
The object of my invention is to prepare a powder which can be put up in packets
or the like, and sold to the public, allowing of it being mixed afterwards by the
purchaser into a delicious ice cream.
For the purpose of my invention, I employ the following ingredients:-

ounces.
These ingredients are thoroughly mixed together, and in the proportions given
above make about seventeen and a half ounces of the powder, which is about the
quantity required to make up two gallons of milk into ice cream. If the powder
is made in larger quantities, the proportions of the ingredients are increased, as
for instance, if 35 ounces of the powder are required, the quantity of each ingredient
is doubled, and so on depending on the quantity of the powder being made.
The powder when mixed, can be put up in packets or the like and sold to the
public, the purchaser making the delicacy adds the only two extra ingredients
required, viz.:-sufficient quantities of milk and sugar, the whole is frozen in any
suitable manner, and makes a delicious ice cream, which is thus prepared with
little or none of the trouble required in making ice cream in the ordinary manner.
The powder when packed can be kept for a considerable time and is ready for use
when required.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention.
and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:
An improved powder for making ice cream consisting of vanilla, or other suit-
able sugar, flour, ground rice, corn flower and salt, with or without egg yellow in
about the proportions substantially as described.
