Take a quart of water, and put it into a saucepan, with a large piece of crumb of bread, and a blade of mace; let them boil for two minutes take out the bread and bruise it in a bason very fine; mix as much of the water as will make it of a proper thickness, and sweeten it to your palate; put in a bit of butter of the size of a walnut, and grate in a little nutmeg.
To three quarters of a pint of water, add a large spoonful of sagoe, and boil them together softly, till the liquor is of a thickness to your liking; then put in a little white wine and sugar, and grate in a little nutmeg.
Take two quarts of milk, a quart of ready boiled wheat, and a quarter of a pound of currants well cleaned; stir these together, put them in a sauce-pan, and boil the mixture; then beat up the yolks of three eggs, with a little grated nutmeg, two or three spoonfuls of milk, and sugar enough to sweeten the reft : mix the whole in the sauce-pan, stirring them together for a few minutes, and then it will be fit to fend to the table.
