Huckleberry Pudding. ✠

• 1 pint milk.
• 2 eggs.
• 1 quart flour—or enough for thick batter.
• 1 gill baker’s yeast.
• 1 saltspoonful salt.
• 1 teaspoonful soda, dissolved in boiling water.
• Nearly a quart of berries—well dredged with flour.

Make a batter of eggs, milk, flour, yeast, salt, and soda, and set it to rise in a warm place about four hours. When you are ready to boil it, stir in the dredged fruit quickly and lightly. Boil in a buttered mould or a floured cloth for two hours.

This will be found lighter and more wholesome than boiled pastry.

Eat hot with sweet sauce.
