GREEN-GAGE PUFFS
- Some stewed green-gages
- ½ lb. (2 cups) flour
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoonfuls baking powder
- ½ teaspoonful salt
- Some milk
- ½ teaspoonful lemon extract
Sift the flour into a basin with the baking powder and the salt, beat up the egg, and add a little milk to it, then add them gradually with the lemon extract to the dry ingredients, making a stiff batter. Put half a tablespoonful of this batter into buttered earthenware cups, then put in some stewed green-gages; put a tablespoonful of the batter on the top and cover with a buttered paper. Steam steadily for twenty minutes.
These puffs may be baked in the oven. Any kind of stewed or fresh fruit may be used.
