BOILED PUDDING, No. 1.
290. Pour over a pint of the crumbs of baker's bread as much boiling milk as will moisten it, mash it smoothly in the milk. Beat the yelks of four eggs and add them to the bread and milk, beat it very hard; then whisk the whites of the eggs and stir in gently with as much flour as will make a batter. Fruit may be added if preferred, but the pudding will be lighter without. Rinse your pudding bag, flour it on the inside, pour in the batter, tie it very closely, leaving room for it to swell. Boil it two hours.
