Ingredients

Method

  1. Boil a large spoonful heaped of either in a pint of new milk, with lemonpeel and cinnamon.
  2. When cold add sugar, nutmeg, and two eggs, well beaten.
  3. Bake with a crust round the dish.
  4. Observations on making Puddings.
  5. The outside of a boiled pudding often tastes disagreeably, which arises from the cloth not being nicely washed, and kept in a dry place.
  6. It should be dipped in boiling water, squeezed dry, and floured, when to be used.
  7. If bread, it should be tied loose;
  8. if batter, tight over.
  9. The water should boil quick when the pudding is put in;
  10. and it should be moved about for a minute, lest the ingredients should not mix.
  11. Batter pudding should be strained through a coarse sieve, when all is mixed.
  12. In others the eggs separately.
  13. The pans and basons must be always buttered.
  14. A pan of cold water should be ready, and the pudding dipt in as soon as it comes out of the pot, and then it will not adhere to the cloth.
