Flour Pudding, Hasty

Make a smooth batter with two ounces of fine flour and a pint of milk. Boil it in a clean saucepan over a slow fire until quite thick: add sugar to sweeten, half an ounce of butter, a few drops of the essence of ratafia, and a little grated nutmeg. Let it stay till cold; then beat into the batter three eggs, and bake in a dish lined or not with thin paste. A layer of marmalade, or any other preserve, on the paste at the bottom of the dish is much approved of; or the pudding may be eaten simply boiled as above, and served hot with cold butter, sugar, and nutmeg. Time to bake, half an hour. Probable cost, 7d. Sufficient for two or three persons.
