One cupful of boiled rice (better if just cooked, and still hot), three cups of milk, three fourths of a cup of sugar, a tablespoonful of cornstarch, two eggs; add flavoring. Dissolve the cornstarch first with a little milk, and then stir in the remainder of the milk; add the yolks of the eggs and the sugar beaten together. Now put this over the fire (there is less risk of burning in a custard kettle), and when hot add the hot rice. It will seem as if there were too much milk for the rice; but there is not. Stir it carefully until it begins to thicken like boiled custard, then take it off the fire and add the flavoring, say extract of lemon. Put it into a pudding-dish and place it in the oven. Now beat the whites of the eggs to a stiff froth, and add a little sugar and flavoring. Take the pudding from the oven when colored a little, and spread the froth over the top and return it to the oven for a few minutes to give it a delicate coloring.
One teacupful each of boiled rice, raisins, and sugar, one quart of sweet milk, four eggs, one-half teaspoon of salt, and one of nutmeg. Beat the butter, sugar and eggs together till very light, add the milk, next the rice, raisins and seasoning; bake one hour in a slow oven.
Pick and wash two teacupfuls of rice, boil in water till tender, then add one pint of milk, let it boil, thicken with two tablespoonfuls of cornstarch, fill your cups half full with the pudding, fill up two-thirds full with cold, sweet milk, beat the whites of four eggs to a stiff froth and put a spoonful on each cup; set it in the oven and brown slightly. Serve in cups, hot.
Take one teacupful of rice, boiled soft, put it into one pint of milk (hot is best), then add the yolks of six eggs, well beaten, and bake. Beat the whites of the eggs to a stiff froth, add the juice of one lemon and one cupful of pulverized sugar. Prepare this just before your pudding is done. When baked, pour into a dish and set in the oven a few minutes to dry.
