Malvern Pudding

Put two dessert-spoonfuls of Indian corn-flour into a basin, and mix with a little cold milk, say about two table-spoonfuls. Boil together four ounces of good loaf sugar and half a pint of new milk. Stir it into the basin while boiling hot, adding, when the heat has gone off a litle, three well-beaten eggs, with three table-spoonfuls of good cream, which should be thick, and a little nutmeg. If cream be not at hand, use more eggs. Pour some of this custard into a buttered dish, and have ready boiled some well-flavoured apples, sweetened with half their weight of good loaf sugar, and made pleasant to the taste with the grated rind and juice of a lemon. Put a layer of this on the custard, and fill up alternately with apples and custard. Bake in a brisk oven. Time, twenty to twenty-five minutes. The apple and custard will be very good served cold.
