GALA PUDDING (sometimes called General Satisfaction Pudding)

Take three eggs, separate the whites from the yolks, beat the latter well, mix with them a cupful of boiling milk, flavoured with lemon and add a table-spoonful of sugar, a piece of butter the size of a walnut; pour this custard into a stewpan, simmer gently, stirring all the time, until it thickens. Line the edge of a piedish with a good crust. Three parts fill it with slices of spongecake, spread with apricot, strawberry, or any other jam. Pour the custard over them, and bake in a moderate oven. When the pudding is sufficiently cooked, lay on it the whites of three eggs, beaten to a firm froth, and sprinkle a dessert-spoonful of white sugar upon this. Put it into the oven a few minutes longer, then serve. Time, fifteen minutes to bake. Probable cost, 1s. 2d. Sufficient for four or five persons.
