QUEEN OF PUDDING.
One pint fine sifted bread-crumbs, one quart milk, one cup sugar, yolks of four
eggs, a piece of butter the size of an egg, (some add grated rind of lemon);
bake until done--but do not allow to become watery--and spread with a layer of
jelly. Whip whites of eggs to a stiff froth with five table-spoons sugar, and
juice of one lemon, spread on the top and brown. Good with or without sauce, and
very good cold. Make a hard sauce for it as follows: One cup very light brown
sugar, half cup butter, half grated rind and the juice of one lemon; beat until
very light.
Vanilla may be used instead of the lemon.
