h the cooked cream, and
take directly from the fire. Flavor with lemon or vanilla and bake in a
moderate oven for twenty-five minutes. Chill and serve. This may also be
served as a pudding without the final baking.
~WHOLE WHEAT PUDDING~--Put one cup of milk, one-half cup of molasses,
two cups of graham or whole wheat flour, one cup of chopped raisins and
half a saltspoon of salt into a bowl and add one level teaspoon of soda,
dissolved in a tablespoon of warm water, beat hard for three minutes.

~YORKSHIRE PUDDING~--Take an equal number of eggs and tablespoonful of
sifted flour and when the eggs are well beaten mix them in with the
flour, add some salt and a little grated nutmeg and then pour in as much
new milk as will make a batter of the consistency of cream, stir the

baking tin, which must be very hot, containing a couple of tablespoons
of hot drippings. Set the pudding in oven to bake or before the fire
under the roasting meat. When ready to serve cut the pudding into
squares and send to the table on a separate dish.
