Put into a vessel a quarter of a pound of powdered sugar, break in five whole eggs, and with the pastry-whip mix well for two minutes; add a quart of good, cold milk, and flavor with a teaspoonful of lemon essence; mix well together for one minute. Butter and sugar well six small pudding-molds, as for maraschino pudding (No. 14); strain the preparation into another bowl, and then pour it into the molds; arrange them on a tin pan filled to half the height of the molds with warm but not boiling water; then place them in a moderate oven to steam for forty minutes. Remove from the oven, and with a towel turn them on a hot dessert-dish, serving with a sauce a la creme (No. 13).
