BREAD PUDDING

- 2 tablespoonfuls butter
- 2 heaping tablespoonfuls (2 ozs.) sugar
- Few drops lemon juice
- ½ teaspoonful orange extract
- ½ pint (1 cup) milk

Put the sugar and lemon juice into a saucepan and boil to a caramel, then when cool pour in the milk and stand the mixture at the side of the stove until the sugar is dissolved, but do not let it boil; fry the bread crumbs in the butter until a golden brown, then pour on them the prepared milk, and beat into them the yolks of eggs, the orange extract, and the whites of eggs stiffly beaten.
Pour into a buttered fireproof dish and bake in a moderate oven for half an hour.
