This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1839 Excerpt: ...nature or violent exercise, such a voracious appetite that, like the one described by Hood--" he could all but eat and digest himself." Fruit mixed with batter, if rightly prepared, is far less objectionable; though this kind of pudding is not so nourishing or healthful as those made of rice, sago or indian meal, baked. A boiled indian pudding, if made nearly as thin as batter, is not very apt to be injurious; still made like hasty-pudding it is more easily digested. In preparing nice puddings, always beat the eggs very light, yolks and whites apart; the flour should be dried and sifted; if currants are used, they must be carefully picked, washed, and dried, and then dusted with flour before being put into the batter--raisins must be stoned; sugar dried and pounded; spices must be very fine, and all the ingredients thoroughly mixed.

Boil the remainder of the milk, and stir it amongst the arrow-root; add, when nearly cold, four well beaten eggs, with two ounces of pounded loaf sugar, and the same of fresh butter broken into small bits; season with grated nutmeg. Mix it well together, and bake it in a buttered dish fifteen or twenty minutes. SAGO PUDDING. Boil five table-spoonfuls of sago, well picked and washed, in a quart of milk till quite soft, with a stick of cinnamon. Then stir in one teacup of butter and two of powdered loaf sugar.--When it is cold add six eggs well beaten, and a little grated nutmeg. Mix all well together, and bake it in a buttered dish about three quarters of an hour. Brown sugar, if dried will answer very well to sweeten it...
