Ratafia Pudding

Boil a quart of cream, with a laurel leaf; take it out, and break in half a pound of Naples biscuits, half a pound of butter, some sack, nutmeg, and a little salt. Take it off the fire, cover it up, and when almost cold, put in two ounces of blanched almonds beaten fine, and the yolks of five eggs. Mix all together, and bake it half an hour in a moderately heated oven. Before it is put into the oven grate a little sugar over it.
