One pint of fine bread-crumbs, one cup sugar, one quart milk, the yolks of four eggs, the rind of one lemon, and a piece of butter the size of an egg. Bake it until just done. Have the whites of the eggs and the juice of the lemon well beaten. Spread jelly or preserves on the top of the pudding, then the froth. Bake very little, just to brown on the top. To be eaten cold with cream. A delicious dessert.
Three eggs, one cup sugar, one cup molasses, one cup cream, one teaspoonful soda, three cups flour, one and a half of butter. To be eaten with wine sauce. Very good.
One cup bread-crumbs, two cups chopped tart apples, half a cup brown sugar, one teaspoonful cinnamon, two table-spoonsful butter. Butter a deep dish and put in a layer of apples at the bottom; sprinkle with sugar, a few bits of butter, and some cinnamon; then put a layer of breadcrumbs. Proceed in the same manner till the dish is full, having bread for the top layer. Cover it closely and steam it three-quarters of an hour in a moderate oven, then uncover and brown quickly. Eat hot with sugar and cream or with a sauce.
To one pint milk add six eggs well beaten, four table-spoonsful flour, one spoonful melted butter, and a grated nutmeg. Mix these ingredients well, leaving out the whites of three eggs for sauce. Pour the mixture into cups well buttered, filling them half full. Bake in a quick oven. Turn them on a dish and pour the sauce over them.
The Sauce. - The whites of the three eggs made into a thin icing with crushed sugar, to which add lemon juice or rose water.
Beat eight eggs very light, whites and yolks separately, half a pound of butter, half a pound sugar. Cream butter and sugar together. Stir this gradually into the eggs. Add the juice of two lemons, and the grated rind if desired.
