Put in a copper basin a quarter of a pound of powdered sugar, two whole raw eggs, and grate in the rind of a quarter of a medium-sized lemon, and with a pastry whip beat the whole sharply for two minutes ; put the basin on a very moderate fire, then beat it vigorously for five minutes more. Remove it from the fire, lay the basin on a table, continue beating slowly for two minutes longer, then give the whip a sharp shake, so that all that adheres to it falls into the basin. Now add a quarter of a pound of flour, and with a wooden spoon mix slowly and carefully the whole for two minutes. Cover a pastry baking-pan with a sheet of brown paper, pour the paste over it, spread out to the thickness of half an inch ; put it into a moderate oven, and let bake for fifteen minutes, then take it out, let cool for another fifteen minutes, and remove from the pan. Place it on a table upside down, remove the paper, and with a knife cut it into small, square, dice-shaped pieces, mixing with them one one of dried currants, as for No. 1080, and one ounce of finely chopped can-died citron.

Butter and sugar well six small pudding-molds, each capable of containing one and a half gills. Fill them equally with the above preparation, then put in a vessel four ounces of powdered sugar with two raw eggs ; beat well with a pastry-whip for two minutes, then add a pint of cold milk, mixing again for one minute, strain through a sieve into another vessel, add half a teaspoonful of lemon essence, and stir lightly for one minute more. Pour this slowly over the puddings, a little each time, so as to give the necessary opportunity for it to absorb; lay them on a tin pan, filled to half the height of the molds with warm but not boiling water, then place in a moderate oven to steam for thirty minutes ; remove them from the pan, and lay them in a cool place for one hour, afterwards leaving them in the ice-box until ready to serve. Take a pint of whipped cream, as for No. 1254, put it in a vessel, mixing in for two minutes half a gill of good maraschino, and leave it in the ice-box until ready ; then prepare a cold dessert-dish. Run a thin knife down each pudding sepa-rately, from top to bottom, pass it carefully around the mold, so as to detach them easily. Pour the maraschino sauce over, and send to the table immediately.
