Monmouth Pudding

Take the crumb of a stale white loaf, put it into a basin, and pour over it boiling milk, in the proportion of a pint of milk to four ounces of bread. Cover until it is well soaked, then add two heaped table-spoonfuls of pounded white sugar, from four to five ounces of butter dissolved before the fire, the grated peel of a dry lemon with the juice of a fresh one, and three well-whisked eggs. Pour the mixture into a buttered dish, the bottom of which has been spread with jam--strawberry, raspberry, or plum. Bake for twenty minutes. Probable cost, 1s. 4d. Sufficient for five or six persons.
