Oatmeal Pudding.
1 gill of oatmeal.
1/2 gill of raisins.
3 gills of water.
1/2 teaspoonful of salt.
Put the water and raisins in a stewpan; cover, and simmer for half an hour. At the end of that time stir in the salt and oatmeal. Boil rapidly for one minute; then set the stewpan back where the contents will only simmer for one hour. Rinse a mould or bowl in cold water and turn the pudding into it. Set away to cool. Serve with sugar and cream.
