Devonian Pudding

Put a pint of milk into a saucepan, and stir into it gradually two table-spoonfuls of fine flour until it boils. When it thickens slightly, pour it into a basin to cool. Mix in a separate dish the whites of two eggs and the yolks of four well beaten, the grated rind of a small lemon, eight ounces of sugar, and three ounces of butter previously beaten to a cream. Blend this thoroughly with the mixture of milk and flour. Pour into a well-buttered pie-dish, round which has been placed an edging of puff paste, and bake in a quick oven for twenty-five minutes. When ready, dust pounded sugar over it, and serve hot. It may also be used cold. Probable cost, 1s.
