One dozen juicy apples, chopped in the same proportion of stewed apples, quarter loaf bread grated; butter a baking dish well; cover the bottom with apples, spices, sugar and small lumps of butter. Then put in a layer of bread, and so on till the dish is full, bread being the last layer, well buttered.
Four eggs, two tablespoonsful of corn starch, one quart milk, one cup sugar. Beat the sugar, corn starch and yolks of the eggs together with one cup of the milk. Scald the rest of the milk and put the above with it. Flavor with lemon or vanilla. Beat the whites of the eggs with a little sugar to a stiff froth, and spread it on top of the pudding after it is cold, and set it in the oven to brown.
One quart flour, two teacupsful of milk, two teacupsful of sugar, quarter pound butter, one pound currants, two tea-spoonsful of Royal Baking Powder. Bake one hour and serve hot with wine sauce. Half this quantity is sufficient for a small family.

One pint of stale baker's bread grated. Pour over it one quart of cold milk, one teacup of white sugar, a piece of butter the size of an egg, the grated rind of one lemon, the yolks of four eggs well beaten.

One pint scalded milk, half pint of Indian meal, a tea-spoonful of salt and six sweet apples cut in small pieces. This makes excellent jelly. 11
Take a thick round sponge cake baked in a scalloped pan. Split it in three slices and spread each slice with currant jelly and put them nicely together, then pour over it half a pint of white wine, and let it stand over night. The next morning stick small pieces of citron, and blanched almonds all over the cake, then pour over it a rich custard flavored with vanilla.
