COTTAGE PUDDING.
MRS. W. W. HENRY.
After rubbing together a cupful of sugar and a tablespoon of butter, add two eggs, and after beating the mixture until light, add a cupful of milk; mix well in a sieve a pint of sifted flour and three teaspoons of baking powder, rub through the sieve into the mixture already made, beat quickly and pour the batter into one large pudding dish or two small ones. Sprinkle with sugar, bake in a moderate oven for forty minutes or thirty if there be two. Serve hot with lemon sauce or any sweet sauce.
Lemon Sauce.—Beat two eggs very light, and add one cup of sugar, one tablespoon of melted butter, one small tablespoon of cornstarch, beat all together, then add one cup of boiling water, cook five minutes, boiling all the while. Cook a little longer if set in a basin of hot water, take from the fire, and add juice of lemon.
