Marlborough Pudding

Warm two ounces of fresh butter, and when soft, without being thoroughly melted, stir until it resembles cream; add two ounces of powdered or sifted sugar, and two well-beaten eggs, and mix all together. When done, line a small piedish with puff-paste, placing a border also round the edge; cover the bottom with a layer of apricot or strawberry jam; pour in the mixture, and bake from twenty to twenty-five minutes. We would suggest, that instead of the dish being lined with puff-paste, a few thin slices of spongecake should be substituted, as the paste is likely to be sodden and indigestible. Probale cost, 7d. Sufficient for three persons.
