Maizena Pudding

One quart of milk, five tablespoonfuls of maizena, two eggs, essence of lemon or vanilla, sugar to taste; some candied citron and orange-peel.

Beat thoroughly five spoonfuls of maizena with two eggs and two table-spoonfuls of milk, flavour it with lemon or vanilla; put the milk over a clear fire, sweeten it to taste, and when on the point of boiling stir in very briskly the maizena, and let it boil a few minutes, stirring it all the time; place green citron cut into pieces over the bottom and sides of a wet mould; pour out the maizena, adding pieces of orange-peel as it is poured in. When cold turn it out on a glass dish.
