brandy. Beat four eggs, yolks and whites; put to a pint of milk or cream,
lightly sweetened, half a nutmeg, and the rind of half a lemon finely grated.

and boil one hour; keep the mould the right side up. Serve with pudding-sauce.
Buttermilk Pudding.
Warm three quarts of new milk; turn it with a quart of buttermilk; drain the
curd through a sieve; when dry, pound it in a marble mortar, with near half a
pound of sugar, a lemon boiled tender, the crumb of a roll grated, a nutmeg
grated, six bitter almonds, four ounces of warm butter, a tea-cupful of good
cream, the yolks of five and whites of three eggs, a glass of sweet wine, and
ditto of brandy.
When well incorporated, bake in small cups or bowls well buttered; if the bottom
be not brown, use a salamander; but serve as quick as possible, and with
pudding-sauce.

Turn two quarts of milk to curd, press the whey from it, rub through a sieve,

Serve with sweet sauce in a boat.
Boiled Curd Pudding.
