One small cupful of Indian meal, one-half cupful of wheat flour stirred together
with cold milk. Scald one pint of milk, and stir the mixture in it and cook
until thick; then thin with cold milk to the consistency of batter, not very
thick; add half a cupful of sugar, half a cupful of molasses, two eggs, two
tablespoonfuls of butter, a little salt, a tablespoonful of mixed cinnamon and
nutmeg, two-thirds of a teaspoonful of soda added just before putting it into
the oven. Bake two hours. After baking it half an hour, stir it up throughly,
then finish baking.
Serve it up hot, eat it with wine sauce, or with butter and syrup.
BOILED CORN-MEAL PUDDING.
Warm a pint of molasses and a pint of milk, stir well together; beat four eggs,
and stir gradually into molasses and milk; add a cupful of beef suet chopped
fine, or half a cupful of butter, and corn-meal sufficient to make a thick
batter; add a teaspoonful of pulverized cinnamon, the same of nutmeg, a
teaspoonful of soda, one of salt, and stir all together thoroughly; dip a cloth
into boiling water, shake, flour a little, turn in the mixture, tie up, leaving

well-sifted, a teaspoonful of salt, a cupful of molasses, half a cupful of
chopped suet, and a teaspoonful of dissolved soda; tie it up tight in a cloth,
allowing room for it to swell, and boil four hours. Serve with sweet sauce.
CORN-MEAL PUFFS.
Into one quart of boiling milk stir eight tablespoonfuls of Indian meal, four
tablespoonfuls of powdered sugar, and a teaspoonful of nutmeg; let the whole
boil five minutes, stirring constantly to prevent its adhering to the sauce-pan;
then remove it from the fire, and when it has become cool stir into it six eggs,
beaten as light as possible; mix well, and pour the mixture into buttered
teacups, nearly filling them; bake in a moderate oven half an hour; serve with
lemon sauce.
