PRUNE PUDDING.
Heat a little more than a pint of sweet milk to the boiling point, then stir in
gradually a little cold milk in which you have rubbed smooth a heaping
tablespoonful of corn-starch; add sugar to suit your taste; three well-beaten
eggs, about a teaspoonful of butter, and a little grated nutmeg. Let this come
to a boil, then pour it in a buttered pudding-dish, first adding a cupful of
stewed prunes, with the stones taken out. Bake for from fifteen to twenty
minutes, according to the state of the oven. Serve with or without sauce. A
little cream improves it if poured over it when placed in saucers.
BLACKBERRY OR WHORTLEBERRY PUDDING.
Three cupfuls of flour, one cupful of molasses, half a cupful of milk, a
teaspoonful of salt, a little cloves and cinnamon, a teaspoonful of soda,
dissolved in a little of the milk. Stir in a quart of huckleberries, floured.
Boil in a well-buttered mold two hours. Serve with brandy sauce.
BAKED HUCKLEBERRY PUDDING.
One quart of ripe, fresh huckleberries or blueberries; half a teaspoonful of
mace or nutmeg, three eggs well beaten, separately; two cupfuls of sugar; one
tablespoonful of cold butter; one cupful of sweet milk, one pint of flour, two
teaspoonfuls of baking-powder. Roll the berries well in the flour, and add them
last of all. Bake half an hour and serve with sauce. There is no more delicate
and delicious pudding than this.
FRUIT PUDDING.
This pudding is made without cooking and is nice prepared the day before used.
Stew currants or any small fruits, either fresh or dried, sweeten with sugar to
taste, and pour hot over thin slices of bread with the crust cut off, placed in
a suitable dish, first a layer of bread, then the hot stewed fruit, then bread
and fruit, then bread, leaving the fruit last. Put a plate over the top and when
cool, set it on ice. Serve with sugar and cream.
This pudding is very fine made with Boston crackers split open, and placed in
layers with stewed peaches.
BOILED CURRANT PUDDING.
Five cupfuls of sifted flour in which two teaspoonfuls of baking-powder have
been sifted. One-half a cupful of chopped suet; half a pound of currants, milk,
