Oatmeal Pudding

Put a tea-cupful of coarse oatmeal to soak in a pint of boiling milk until the mixture is quite cold. Keep it covered, add a pinch of salt, a beaten egg, and a table-spoonful or more of sugar or honey. Bake in a slow oven for an hour and a half. Grate a little nutmeg over the top, and serve. Another way is to cook the oatmeal and milk, after soaking, in a double pan for a couple of hours, adding the egg ten minutes before its removal. Then serve with stewed fruit, jam, etc.
