Corn Starch Pudding.
2 heaped tablespoonfuls of corn starch.
1 pint of milk.
1/2 teaspoonful of salt.
Reserve one gill of milk and put the remainder on the fire, in the double-boiler. Mix the milk with the corn starch and salt, and stir into the milk when it boils. Beat well, and cook for ten minutes, stirring often; then turn into a pudding dish, and let it stand for ten minutes. Serve with sugar and cream, or with an egg or fruit sauce.
