451. Sago Pudding For Invalids

See tapioca pudding, No. 452.

452. Tapioca Pudding

Pick and wash a table spoonful of tapioca, pour over it a pint of warm milk, and stand it near the fire for about one hour, but do not let it simmer. Then boil it until it forms a semi-transparent mucilage. Stand it aside to cool.

Beat two eggs, stir them into the mucilage with as much sugar as will sweeten it, pour the mixture in a pan and bake it slowly.

It may be eaten with sweet sauce.

Arrow-root and sago can be made in the same manner, only the sago requires more soaking and boiling than the tapioca.

454. Pudding For The Convalescent

One pint of milk,

Two table spoonsful of flour,

Three eggs, Sugar to the taste.

Beat the eggs, add the sugar, then the milk and flour by turns. Put the mixture in a bowl or pan, place it in another pan of hot water, set it where it will cook, and when a custard is formed set it off to cool.

There should not be too much sugar for invalids as it is apt to produce dispepsia.
