fifteen eggs well beaten, and as much fresh candied-orange as will add colour
and flavour to it, being first beaten to a line paste. Line the dish with paste
for turning out; and when filled with the above, lay a crust over, as you would
a pie, and bake in a slow oven.
It is as good cold as hot.
Baked Apple Pudding.
Pare and quarter four large apples; boil them tender, with the rind of a lemon,
in so little water that, when done, none may remain; beat them quite fine in a

When cold, slice and toast it, and eat it as oatcake buttered.
Dutch Pudding, or Souster.

flour, eight eggs, four spoonfuls of yeast; add one pound of currants, and a

A Dutch Rice Pudding.
Soak four ounces of rice in warm water half an hour; drain the latter from it,
and throw it into a stew-pan, with half a pint of milk, half a stick of
cinnamon, and simmer till tender. When cold, add four whole eggs well beaten,
two ounces of butter melted in a tea-cupful of
