Newmarket Pudding

Put a pint and a quarter of good milk into a saucepan, with three ounces of sugar, a bay-leaf, the thin rind of half a lemon, and a little piece of stick cinnamon. Simmer gently for ten minutes. Let the milk cool, then mix with it the well-whisked yolks of five and the whites of three fresh eggs. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve. Butter a pie-dish. Put a layer of thin bread and butter at the bottom, then a layer of currants and stoned-and-chopped raisins. Repeat until the dish is nearly full. Pour the custard over, let the bread soak for an hour, and bake in a moderate oven. Time, about three-quarters of an hour to bake. Probable cost, 1s. Sufficient for five or six persons.
