* 2 Eggs—2d. * * 1/2 oz. Butter—1/2d. * * 1 teaspoonful Jam—1/2d. * * Sugar—1/2d. * * Total Cost—31/2 d. * * Time—5 Minutes. * Put the yolks of the eggs into a basin and beat in half the sugar, put the whites on to a plate with a little sugar, and whip till stiff; mix with the yolks. Put the butter into a small frying-pan, and when it is dissolved pour in the mixture; leave over the fire for about three minutes. Then hold the pan in front of the fire for a minute or two to brown the top. Put the jam on to a hot plate, slip the omelet on the top; serve at once.
TAPIOCA MERINGUE
* 1 pint Milk—2d. * * 1 1/2 oz. Tapioca—1/2d. * * 1 oz. Sugar—1/2d. * * Whites of 2 Eggs—1d. * * Flavouring—1/2d. * * 1 oz. Beef Suet—1/2d. * * Total Cost—5d. * * Time—Two Hours. * Wash the tapioca well in cold water, strain off the water, and put it into a pie dish. Chop the suet very finely and mix it in with the sugar; flavour with grated lemon peel or nutmeg, pour over the milk and mix well, stand in a very cool oven for two hours. Whip the whites of the eggs to a very stiff froth, flavour the same as the pudding, spread these on top, sprinkle with sugar, and stand in the oven till set; serve cold. This meringue is very much improved if a few macaroons are broken up and laid on the top before the eggs are put on, or if a spoonful of raspberry jam is spread over.
HASTY PUDDING
* 1 pint Milk—2d. * * 1 oz. Butter—1d. * * 3 oz. Flour * * 2 oz. Sugar—1d. * * Total Cost—4d. * * Time—5 Minutes. * Put the milk on the fire to boil, and when boiling stir in the flour quickly; it should be rather lumpy. Pour it into a dish, melt the butter and sugar, and pour it in the middle of the pudding. A little flavouring of grated lemon peel may be put into the milk, or jam served with the pudding.
QUICK PUDDING
* 1 Egg * * 1 tablespoonful Flour—1d. * * 1 tablespoonful Jam * * 1 teaspoonful Sugar * * 1 teaspoonful Baking Powder—2d. * * Total Cost—3d. * * Time—5 Minutes. * Mix the flour and baking powder together, beat the egg till very light, whisk in the sugar, and stir in the flour. Pour into a buttered tin, and bake five minutes; turn on to a sugared paper spread with jam. Roll up and serve. Custard sauce is nice with this.

Spread a spoonful of jam on the top; whip the whites of the eggs to a stiff froth and spread them over, sprinkle with sugar, and put back in the oven to set. Serve cold.
