tablespoonful of sifted flour; stir with this three cupfuls of milk and a little
salt; pour this over the bread, let it stand one hour and then bake slowly, with
a cover on, three-quarters of an hour; then take the cover off and brown. Serve
with wine and lemon sauce.
Pie-plant, cut up in small pieces with plenty of sugar, is fine made in this
manner.
BREAD AND BUTTER PUDDING. No. 2.
Place a layer of stale bread, rolled fine, in the bottom of a pudding dish, then
a layer of any kind of fruit; sprinkle on a little sugar, then another layer of
bread-crumbs and of fruit; and so on until the dish is full, the top layer being
crumbs. Make a custard as for pies, add a pint of milk, and mix. Pour it over
the top of the pudding, and bake until the fruit is cooked.
Stale cake, crumbed fine, in place of bread, is an improvement.
COLD BERRY PUDDING.
Take rather stale bread--baker's bread or light home-made--cut in thin slices,
and spread with butter. Add a very little water and a little sugar to one quart
or more of huckleberries and blackberries, or the former alone. Stew a few
minutes until juicy; put a layer of buttered bread in your buttered
pudding-dish, then a layer of stewed berries while hot, and so on until full;
lastly, a covering of stewed berries. It may be improved with a rather soft
frosting over the top. To be eaten cold with thick cream and sugar.
APPLE TAPIOCA PUDDING.
Put one teacupful of tapioca and one teaspoonful of salt into one pint and a
half of water, and let it stand several hours where it will be quite warm, but
not cook; peel six tart apples, take out the cores, fill them with sugar, in
which is grated a little nutmeg and lemon-peel, and put them in a pudding-dish;
over these pour the tapioca, first mixing with it one teaspoonful of melted
butter and a cupful of cold milk, and half a cupful of sugar; bake one hour; eat
with sauce.
When fresh fruits are in season, this pudding is exceedingly nice, with damsons,
plums, red currants, gooseberries, or apples; when made with these, the pudding
must be thickly sprinkled over with sifted sugar.
Canned or fresh peaches may be used in place of apples in the same manner,
moistening the tapioca with the juice of the canned peaches in place of the cold
milk. Very nice when quite cool to serve with sugar and cream.
