the four yolks and four light tablespoonfuls
of sugar, and place them over the fire, stirring constantly. This makes a
nice custard. Just before serving pour the custard over the pudding.

_Caramel Custard._--One egg for each person; also one teaspoonful of milk
for each person. Put the yolks and milk together with a tablespoonful of
sugar to each egg. Have ready some caramel, and stir in enough to give a
decided flavor. Put this into cups or baking-dishes, and set in a pan of
hot water on top of the stove for twenty minutes; then in the oven until
the custard sets. Serve cold. For the caramel, take two cupfuls of sugar
(preferably brown) and put it in a frying-pan with a teaspoonful of
water. Cook until well burned. Add a cup of water, and, when cold, put it
in a bottle or fruit-jar. This quantity will last a long time.

_Brown Betty Pudding._--Take a cupful of grated bread-crumbs, two cupfuls
of finely chopped, tart apples, half a cupful of brown sugar, a
teaspoonful of cinnamon, and one tablespoonful of butter. Butter a deep
pudding-dish, and put a layer of apples on the bottom; then sprinkle with
sugar, cinnamon and bits of the butter. Put in another layer of apples,
and proceed as before until all the ingredients have been used. Cover the
dish and bake for three-quarters of an hour in a moderate oven; remove
the cover now and brown the pudding. Serve with sugar and cream.

_Rice Pudding._--One cupful of boiled rice (better if still hot), three
cupfuls of milk, three-quarters of a cup of sugar, a tablespoonful of
corn-starch, and two eggs; add flavoring. Dissolve the corn-starch with a
little of the milk, and stir it into the rest of the milk; also add the
yolks of the eggs and the sugar beaten together. Put this over the fire
and when hot add the rice. Stir it carefully until it begins to thicken,
then take it off and add the flavoring. Put it into a pudding-dish and
bake in the oven.
