Put in a vessel four eggs with three ounces of powdered sugar, mix briskly with the pastry-whip for two minutes, then add one and a half pints of cold milk, and a teaspoonful of lemon essence; then mix well again for one minute, strain this through a sieve into another vessel. Butter and sugar well six small molds as for maraschino pudding (No. 1134), fill them one inch high with caramel (No. 1252), let cool off for five minutes, then pour in the preparation, dividing it equally; place them in a tin pan filled to half the height of the molds with warm but not boiling water, put in a moderate oven, and let steam for forty minutes. Take them out, turn them on a hot dessert-dish, and serve in their own sauce. This pudding may be prepared in cups instead of molds.
