Neither eggs nor butter required. It is called by a dozen different names, such as Astor House, poor man's pudding and others and is made daily in many fine hotels as an alternative from the richer kinds, which some cannot eat.

1 cup rice - 1/2 pound.

1 cup sugar - 1/2 pound.

6 cups milk.

Cinnamon or nutmeg.

A pinch of salt.

Wash the rice in three or four waters put it into a tin pudding pan, and the sugar, milk, salt and piece of stick cinnamon with it, all cold, and bake in a slow oven for three or four hours. It may be best to use only five cups of milk at first, and add the other if the time allows the pudding to bake down dry enough. Cover with a sheet of greased paper to keep the top from scorching. Serve with sauce.
