til the apples are soft;
then uncover and brown the crumbs. Serve with cream or with soft custard
or lemon sauce. If desired for a meat meal, substitute chicken-fat for
butter and use lemon sauce.

APPLE AND HONEY PUDDING

Take four cups of raw apples cut in small pieces, two cups of bread
crumbs, one-half cup of hot water, two teaspoons of butter, two
teaspoons of cinnamon, one-half cup of honey. Put a layer of the apple
in a well-buttered pudding dish; then a layer of crumbs. Mix the honey
and hot water. Pour part of this over the crumbs, sprinkle with cinnamon
and dot with a few bits of butter. Fill the dish with alternate layers
of apples, crumbs, honey, etc., having a layer of crumbs on top. Cover
and bake forty-five minutes. Serve with cream.

QUEEN BREAD PUDDING

Take one cup of grated bread crumbs, soak it in one pint of sweet milk;
then break three eggs; separate the whites, add to the yolks one cup of
sugar and a small piece of butter; beat it well, and squeeze the bread
crumbs out of the milk, and add this to the yolks and flavor with
vanilla. Grease the pans with butter, put the mixture in the pan, and
pour the milk over it; set in the oven to bake until nearly dry, then
add a layer of fresh fruit (apricots or peaches are the best or
strawberry preserves); add the whites of eggs that were beaten stiff.
Serve cold with cream or milk. This can also be served hot.

BREAD PUDDING

Soak one and one-half cups of bread crumbs in a pint of sweet milk for
half an hour; separate the whites and yolks of two eggs, setting the
whites in a cool place until needed. Beat the yolks with a half cup of
sugar and add the grated peel of one lemon and stir into the bread
crumbs. Put in some raisins and pour into a greased pudding dish and
bake in a moderate oven, about half an hour. Beat the whites of the eggs
to a stiff froth, adding half a cup of powdered sugar; and spread this
on top of pudding and return to the oven and brown delicately. May be
eaten hot or cold, with jelly sauce or whipped cream. Stale cake of any
kind may be used instead of bread; and ginger bread also is particularly
nice, adding raisins and citron, and spreading a layer of jelly on the
pudding before putting on the icing.

CORNMEAL PUDDING

Bring one pint of milk to the boiling point; pour it gradually on
one-half cup of Indian meal, stirring all the while to prevent lumps.
When cool add three eggs well beaten, and one tablespoon of flou
