cinnamon into the milk and when it is just about to boil, stir in the
sugar, cornstarch and flour, the two latter rubbed smooth with two or
three tablespoons of extra cold milk: stir it over the fire for fully
two minutes, to cook well the starch and flour; take it from the fire,
stir in the beaten yolks of the eggs and return it a few minutes to set
them; now again taking it from the fire remove the cinnamon, stir in the
butter and vanilla and pour it on a buttered platter until one third of
an inch high. When cold and stiff cut the pudding into parallelograms,
about three inches long and two inches wide: roll them carefully, first
in sifted cracker crumbs then in eggs (slightly beaten and sweetened)
then again in cracker-crumbs. Dip these into boiling hot lard (a wire
basket should be used if convenient) and when of fine color, take them
out and place them in the oven for four or five minutes to better soften
the pudding. Sprinkle over pulverized sugar and serve immediately.
