Indian Pudding.
1 quart of milk; 4 cups white Indian meal; 3 eggs; 4 tablespoonfuls of sugar; 1 teaspoonful of salt; ¼ lb. powdered suet; 1 teaspoonful of cinnamon; ¼ teaspoonful of soda in the milk.
Scald the milk, and, while hot, stir in meal, suet, and salt. When cold, beat in the yolks and sugar, the spice—at last the whites. Beat long and hard; pour into a buttered mould, leaving room for swelling—and plenty of it—put into a pot of boiling water almost up to the top, and boil four hours. Turn out, and eat hot with sauce.
