Mock Indian Pudding.

1 pint of milk.

2 tablespoonfuls of rice.

1 gill of molasses.

1 tablespoonful of butter.

1/2 teaspoonful of cinnamon.

1/4 teaspoonful of salt.

Wash the rice and mix it with the other ingredients; using, however, only half the butter. Turn into an earthen dish and bake slowly for two hours. At the end of the first hour add the second half tablespoonful of butter, and stir well. Serve with cream.
