Ingredients

Method

  1. Lay into a tart-dish a border of puff-paste, and a pint and a half of freshly-gathered raspberries, well mixed with three ounces of sugar.
  2. Whisk thoroughly six large eggs with three ounces more of sugar, and pour it over the fruit: bake the pudding from twenty-five to thirty minutes in a moderate oven.
  3. Break the eggs one at a time into a cup, and with the point of a small three-pronged fork take off the specks or germs, before they are beaten, as we have directed in page 424.
  4. Raspberries, 1-1/2 pint;
  5. sugar, 6 oz.;
  6. eggs, 6: 25 to 30 minutes.
