ound. Add sugar, sliced lemon, a few cloves, some cinnamon bark
and three tablespoons of syrup. Fill up with cold water and boil half an
hour on top of stove. Then bake for at least three hours, adding water
if needed.
CORN PUDDING
Scrape with a knife six ears of green corn, cutting each row through the
middle. Add two cups of milk, one-half cup of butter, three eggs--the
whites and yolks beaten separately--a little salt and white pepper. Stir
the yolks into the milk and corn, pour into a baking dish, stir in the
whites and bake one and one-half hours.
CHERRY PUDDING
Scald a pint of crackers or bread crumbs in a quart of boiling milk; add
a piece of butter the size of an egg, a good pinch of salt, four eggs, a
cup and a half of sugar, a little ground cinnamon and a quart of stoned
cherries. Bake in quick oven.
HUCKLEBERRY PUDDING
Sprinkle four tablespoons of flour over one and one-half pints
huckleberries and set aside for half an hour. Soak one pint crumbed
bread in one quart milk; add three tablespoons of sugar, pinch of salt,
and the huckleberries. Put all into a greased pudding dish with flakes
of butter on top. Bake forty-five minutes. Serve with hard sauce.
PUDDING A LA GRANDE BELLE
This pudding is economical and dainty if nicely made. Brush small molds
with butter, fill with crumbed bread and dried English currants. Beat
three eggs without separating, add one pint of milk and four tablespoons
of sugar. Pour carefully over the bread and let stand five minutes.
Place molds in baking-pan of boiling water and bake in the oven thirty
minutes, or steam half an hour. Serve with liquid pudding sauce.
*STEAMED PUDDINGS*
The tin molds are best for this purpose, either melon, round, or brick.
If the mold is buttered first, then sprinkled with granulated sugar, a
nice crust will form. Have a large, deep pan filled with boiling water.
Place mold in, let water come up to rim, put a heavy weight on top of
mold to keep down, and boil steadily. The pan must be constantly
replenished with boiling water, if the pudding is to be done in time.
Always place paper in top of mold to prevent water from penetrating.
When puddings are boiled in bags, a plate must be placed in bottom of
pan to prevent burning. Only certain puddings can be boiled in bags.
Always grease inside of bag, so puddings will slip out easily. A bag
made of two thicknesses of cheese-cloth, stitched together, will do.
Always leave
