together, to keep the juices from running out. Boil it in a floured cloth one
hour and a half. Serve it with lemon sauce. Fine.
ROLEY POLEY PUDDING. (Apple.)
Peel, core and slice sour apples; make a rich biscuit dough, or raised biscuit
dough may be used if rolled thinner; roll not quite half an inch thick, laythe
slices on the paste, roll up, tuck in the ends, prick deeply with a fork, lay it
in a steamer, and steam hard for an hour and three-quarters. Or, wrap it in a
pudding-cloth well floured; tie the ends, baste up the sides, plunge into
boiling water, and boil continually an hour and a half, perhaps more. Stoned
cherries, dried fruits, or any kind of berries, fresh or dried, may be used.
FRUIT PUFF PUDDING.
Into one pint of flour stir two teaspoonfuls baking-powder and a little salt;
then sift and stir the mixture into milk, until very soft. Place well-greased
cups in a steamer, put in each a spoonful of the above batter, then add one of
berries or steamed apples, cover with another spoonful of batter, and steam
twenty minutes. This pudding is delicious made with strawberries, and eaten with
a sauce made of two eggs, half a cup butter, a cup of sugar beaten thoroughly
with a cup of boiling milk, and one cup of strawberries.
SPONGE CAKE PUDDING. No. I.
Bake a common sponge cake in a flat-bottomed pudding-dish; when ready to use,
cut in six or eight pieces; split and spread with butter, and return them to the
dish. Make a custard with four eggs to a quart of milk; flavor and sweeten to
taste; pour over the cake, and bake one-half hour. The cake will swell and fill
the custard. Serve with or without sauce.
SPONGE CAKE PUDDING. No. 2.
Butter a pudding-mold: fill the mold with small sponge cakes or slices of stale
plain cake, that have been soaked in a liquid made by dissolving one-half pint
of jelly in a pint of hot water. This will be of as fine a flavor and much
better for all than if the cake had been soaked in wine. Make a sufficient
quantity of custard to fill the mold, and leave as much more to be boiled in a
dish by itself. Set the mold, after being tightly covered, into a kettle, and
boil one hour. Turn out of the mold, and serve with some of the other custard
poured over it.
GRAHAM PUDDING.
Mix well together one half a coffee-cupful of molasses, one-quarter of a cupful
of butter, one egg, one-half a cupful of milk, one-half a teaspoonful of pure
