Ingredients. - One pint of milk, two dessertspoonfuls of loaf or castor sugar, four eggs.

Method. - Beat the eggs, add to them the sugar and milk, and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Strain into a buttered pie-dish, and bake in a slow oven until set (about thirty minutes.) When the oven is too hot the dish should be placed in a tin of water, to prevent the custard baking too quickly.

Custard Pudding Baked. (Another Method.)

Ingredients. - Two pints of milk, two tablespoonfuls of sugar, two teaspoonfuls of flour, one ounce of butter, four eggs, lemon rind, bay leaves or laurel leaves for flavoring, two pinches of salt, a pinch of nutmeg.

Method. - Simmer the milk with the flavoring ingredient for about twenty minutes, then remove the lemon rind, or whatever has been used, and put in the butter and sugar. Mix the flour smoothly with a little cold milk or water, pour it into the stewpan, stir until it boils, cook for five minutes, then cool a little. Beat the eggs, add them to the rest of the ingredients, pour into a buttered pie-dish, and bake in a slow oven for about forty minutes, or until set.
