4 cups milk - a quart.

2 heaping tablespoons sugar.

4 do corn starch - 4 ounces good weight.

1 ounce butter - small egg size.

1 yolk to color it if you like.

Boil the milk with the sugar in it.

Mix the starch with a little cold milk, thin it with some hot out of the kettle,pour it quickly into the boiling milk and stir while it is thickening, which it does immediately.

Throw in the butter and beat up, then add the yolk of egg thinned with milk, and take it from the fire. An extremely easy and simple pudding and excellent. Must not be kept too hot after cooking as that causes it to turn thin. Serve with sauce.
