Alice’s Pudding.
1 quart of milk; 5 eggs; 1 cup dry crumbs; ½ cup strawberry, or other sweet jam; ½ cup of sugar.
Butter a pudding-dish; strew crumbs on the bottom; pour in the jam; cover this with the rest of the crumbs, wet with milk. Heat the quart of milk to scalding; take from the fire and pour upon the beaten yolks and sugar. Then, whip in the frothed whites. Heat this three minutes, and put upon the layer of crumbs in the dish, spoonful by spoonful, letting each soak in well before adding more. Bake in a steady oven until “set,” and slightly colored. Eat cold with cream.
Third Week. Wednesday.
